WELCOME
This familiar predator is also known as the Fiscal Shrike or Butcherbird Its black-and-white plumage and fierce habits which include impaling its prey in larders on thorns or spiky fences apparently recalled the early taxman or Fiskaal It hunts from a prominent perch and prey is varied ranging from grasshoppers to chameleons and even sometimes other nestlings which it dismembers with its sturdy hooked bill (although it is not a true raptor)The young are much browner and fluffier and are very noisy once they leave the nest often attracting attention to themselves with their harsh begging calls The very similar Fiscal Flycatcher has a shorter whiter tail and slender bill and doesnt occur in Pinelands

A Big Thank Youto all our clients family and friendsfor your support during the past year
So 2014 turned out to be another good year for sellers and landlords in Pinelands and Thornton Prices increased on average by 12 but it was rentals that exceeded expectationsAt any given moment there would be more than five good applications for rental accommodation when available and at the time of writing not one of our tenants was in arrears It is now almost impossible to find rentals under R5 000 pm with the average family home renting at about R15 000 pm

PROPERTY POINTERSNOMINEES amp POTENTIAL DOUBLE TRANSFER DUTY PENALTIESEvery now and then we come across a situation whereby the Purchaser is unsure whether he wants to put the property into his own name or someone elsersquos name and the Purchaser is identified in the Offer to Purchase in his own name or Nominee There is sometimes the mistaken impression that a Nominee can be nominated at any later stage This is incorrect Unless the Nominee is nominated and accepts the nomination in writing by midnight on the day that the offer is concluded (conclusion in terms of Section 16 of the Transfer Duty Act is the date on which the Seller accepts the offer) the transaction itself attracts double transfer dutyIn effect it means that SARS views this as two separate transactions

THE DIVIDED HOUSEHOLD
YOUR LIFE AND YOUR CHILDS LIFEOne thing that is happening more and more in our modern day world is the increase of children who are being raised by separated parents especially noticeable when the Christmas holidays come aroundThe most important thing to remember is that no matter how the two parents have separated ndash more often than not with bad feelings ndash that there is only one person who pays the real price and that is the child Parents need to own that no matter which parent has decided to move on both need to deal with it Each parent should sit down and make a list as to what they wish their new life to be like and a separate list for what they would like for their childrenWhen their parents split up children take the blame squarely on their shoulders and will internalise that if they had done lsquoXrsquo in a different way then their parents would still be together It is heart-breaking when parents place their own personal issues before that of the child
INPUT FROM BOTH PARENTSContact with both parents is crucial to the development of the child and once they grow up and mature you will be proud that you have a clean slate and your child will continue to have a good relationship with you If however you have kept the child away from the other spouse then they will harbour ill feelings towards you
COMMON GROUND TO PROVIDE STABILITYA child needs both parents they have not divorced either of them Each parent needs to develop their new set of rules for the home and accept that the other spouse now in their new abode may have completely different rules There also needs to be common ground where the child still continues with the same values
in both homes The child needs to be with each parent 50 of the time if possible as both parents are still the childrsquos parents
INFORM THE SCHOOLWith regard to school each parent needs to inform their childrsquos school and they need to receive all emails or communication from the school so that they are informed as to what is happening in their childrsquos life When money needs to be given to the school for outings etc the parents need to take ownership and balance what is needed so that the child does not feel the effects of the financial battle that may be going on between their parents Financial matters of any sort are for the adults to deal with and not for the children to worry about
HOW TO SHARE CHRISTMASEven more important with Christmas around the corner is to ensure that the child spends quality time with each parent where possible One year they can wake up with Mum and the next with Dad One needs to learn not to be selfish ndash remember it is not for you but for your child If they spend the lsquowaking uprsquo time with you then lunch could possibly be spent with the other parent if both parents live in the same town As long as both parents are positive and create a good working relationship your child will develop knowing a true sense of self and what relationships are all about Children learn from our behaviour and when they are older will re-enact what we have done
TWO LOVING HOMESBut it is not all doom and gloom If you sit down and work through this process without the emotions you will have a positive child who will flourish even though they have parents in different homes And when the time comes they will be able to say that it was better to have two loving homes than one constant battlefield
THE CHALLENGEAnd so I challenge all divorced or separated parents to share be reasonable and let your child remember this Christmas as one of the best thus far

PHAMBILI COMMUNITY PROJECTSPhambili is a non-profit organisation that grew out of Pinelands Methodist Church in response to fires in Langa in 2000 Since then many Pinelanders have been and still are involved in its projects and management We currently run three projects that aim to engage with the needs of the surrounding communities a job-readiness course that equips those searching for work with skills to be able to do so effectively (Zanokhanyo) a volunteer programme at Mokone Primary School in Langa (Umthombo) and Phambili Print amp Design which offers high quality digital and litho printing for businesses and individuals as a means of raising funds for the other projects
PHAMBILI AS A VEHICLEFOR COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENTMany people care for the needs of the suburbs surrounding Pinelands (and the people that subsequently enter Pinelands) but often donrsquot know how to
engage with them Phambili ngeThemba is dedicated to seeing transformation come to the informal area of Langa and the greater Cape Town region We aim to do this by enriching vibrant communities economically educationally and spiritually encouraging them to contribute to the future with dignity and respectThe hope is that Phambili might have the opportunity to share their experiences of working with people in need over the years and the stories of hope of people they have come into contact with so that they can be an uplifting influence to others
A HEARTWARMING STORYOF UPLIFTMENT BY PHAMBILIAfter completing the Zanokhanyo Job Readiness Course Yolanda Mtakatya found work at a local documenting company Starting as a Preparation Clerk she was promoted after only three months to the position of Quality Check Team Leader By the end of the year she had made her mark and received an award for being the Team Leader of the Year Getting promoted was not the only exciting thing that happened to this young mother ndash she also got married When asked how she manages to do so well in her job she said that Zanokhanyo helped build her confidence and perseverance and taught her valuable interviewing skills and the importance of punctuality She also emphasized that prayer played a big role in all of her achievements saying that she has never stopped praying

Meet Paul Stohrer Rotarian and co-ordinator of the internationally acclaimed Carols at Kirstenbosch Gardens Paul is seen here with his wife Julia and daughter Amy ndash who has played a role in every nativity pageant held at the Carols at Kirstenbosch since she was five years old
20 YEARS OF CAROLS AT KIRSTENBOSCHThe Carols at Kirstenbosch previously known as Carols by Candlelight has been running for more than twenty years This popular family event is organised by Kirstenbosch Rotary Club with sponsorship from PicknPay and Paul feels privileged to be able to use his business expertise in IT and event management to see that the Carols in the Gardens goes smoothly This year the concert will run from Thursday 18th December a discounted evening until 21st December The gates for the concert open at 5pm and the concert begins at 8pm Come early for a good spot on the lawn
FEATURED PRE CAROL ENTERTAINMENTThis event is a fabulous outdoors experience perfect for a summer evening and is very popular amongst Capetonians and international visitors Wowing the crowds this year before the carols will be Sterling EQ on Thursday Woodworks on Thursday and Friday Anecdote Irish Dancers Pipes and Drums on Saturday Marimba bands and the Gugulethu Tenors on Sunday The main Carol singing is accompanied by the Cape Town Concert Brass and the Cape Town Male Voice Choir Paul comments that all these musicians perform on a charitable basis for the Carols at Kirstenbosch which means that plans can change at the last minute The line up also includes a nightly Nativity Pageant in which Amy has played a part for many years
NUMEROUS CHARITIES WILL BENEFITThe candles have now been replaced with glow sticks ndash a wise safety measure PicknPay provide the glow stick and carol sheets The funds raised from the event which draws in 6 000 people per night over four nights is distributed in part back to the gardens and then to charities supported by Rotary which include Literacy programs for teachers and learners upgrading

SURVIVING THE CHRISTMAS SPENDItrsquos starting to look like Christmas The malls are a maze of merriment and ablaze with bright baubles and as retailers fall over each other to sell you the fallacious promise that possessions are more valuable than experiences we ndash the consumer ndash are left dazed confused and all-too-often indebted As the season of excess approaches letrsquos gift ourselves a moment to plan how to survive the season without entering 2015 debt-laden and depressed It all starts with going back to basics
THE MEANING OF CHRISTMASYou donrsquot need to be Christian to appreciate the broader meaning of this season For many South Africans December is a time to take leave spend meaningful moments with family and friends and unwind It is a period of rest and rejuvenation A time of reflection and repose A season of giving celebrating and breaking bread together as we feast on fellowship How this beautiful season became so horrendously hi-jacked by the retail industry is a topic for another discussion but the challenge this Christmas is for each and every one of us to rediscover the beauty of Christmas free from the pressure to out-purchase the Potgieters
DOING WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPYResearch into consumer behaviour is unanimous ndash as humans we derive more joy from experiences than we do from purchasing material possessions In fact some research has found that consumers derive three times more pleasure from the anticipation of the purchase than from the actual act of purchasing ndash not least because they are plagued by buyerrsquos remorse and gut-wrenching guilt So if spending time with loved ones makes us happy and spending too much money makes us sad how is it that so many of us opt for the latter to the detriment of the former
MONEY MATTERS
Back to Basics
By Sue Torr Director at Crue Consulting
IT DOESNT NEED TO BE A TIME OF EXCESSThe answer is quite probably that as consumers we so easily become victims of over-stimulating retail environments and marketing messages that lead us to desert our very own value systems We are tempted to accept that in this season of excessive eating drinking resting fun feasting and fellowship it is inevitably also a season of excessive spending And when everybody else is blowing their bonus on this seasonrsquos must-have gaming station the power of the herd mentality is prone to usurp logic The truth however is that December is no extraordinary month But for the extra bottles of bubbly and tender turkey the same set of fiscal commitments exist as in any other month ndash and January brings a whole new set of financial commitments which include potentially high cost items such as school uniforms school fees premium increases to name just a few
IT REALLY IS THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTSIn getting back to basics we hold within us the power to reclaim Christmas and breathe new life into old adages such as ldquoitrsquos the thought that countsrdquo Because it really is In returning to basics we provide ourselves the opportunity to teach our children the value of both time and money Whether we help our children plant herb pots spray-paint pine cones or sell home-made Christmas cakes we are gifted not only with precious experiences but with the opportunity to instruct our children in environmental care the benefits of recycling and the need to support local business
KEEP IT SIMPLEBefore we succumb to mall madness letrsquos rediscover the pleasure of Christmas in the simplest of things Letrsquos buy local visit craft markets and support small business Letrsquos fortify the art of recycling re-using and re-purposing goods for the benefit of all Letrsquos relieve each other of the pressure to spend compete and compare Letrsquos rediscover the satisfaction of small gifts given with great love because in the words of Winnie-the-Pooh ldquoSometimes the smallest things take up the most room in our heartsrdquo
The second best

In April this year three colleagues from the SKA Organisation in Manchester and I travelled to the Republic of Chile to visit the ALMA Radio Telescope ALMA stands for ldquoAtacama Large Millimetersubmillimeter Arrayrdquo It is composed of 66 high-precision antennas and is located on the Chajnantor plateau in Northern Chilersquos Atacama desert at an altitude of 5 000 metres The purpose of the trip was to learn as much as possible from the ALMA team Their experience regarding the integration and verification of such a large instrument will benefit the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) which is co-sited in the deserts of South Africa and Australia (see Muse Dec 2012Jan 2013)
THE CAPITAL ndash SANTIAGOWe arrived in Santiago the capital city of Chile after a ten-hour flight from Johannesburg to Sao Paulo and another four-and-a-half hour flight from Sao Paulo to Santiago With a population of nearly six million people Santiago is also the largest city in Chile Skyscrapers and unattractive apartment blocks cover the horizon but the city centre does have a peculiar
earthy charm ndash and many stray dogs The influence of the Roman Catholic Church is also evident with many beautiful churches decorated with exquisite ornaments and religious statues
SAN PEDRO DE ATACAMAFrom Santiago we flew to Calama in North-Eastern Chile followed by a one-hour bus ride to San Pedro de Atacama San Pedro de Atacama is a small town with only a few thousand inhabitants but it seemed to buzz with just as many tourists with one BampB located next to the other It is a charming town though and the hub for many tourists visiting the region I wished I had had more time to explore the surroundings and soon came to appreciate what brings so many tourists to the worldrsquos driest desert ndash Northern Chile has a majestic beauty that is different from any other place I have been to The mountains are gigantic dwarfing the Hottentots Holland mountains that we so admire when travelling towards Worcester from Cape Town Due to the mineral content of the soil (or so I have been told)
the mountains sometimes display shades of orange and purple and green adding to their grandeur And then there is the Licancabur Volcano which used to be a sacred place for the Inca Empire a place where the Incas would carry out religious ceremonies to worship the sun Laguna Chaxa a national reservation located at the heart of the Atacama salt pan is inhabited by three species of flamingos year-round Or you could join a ldquoTour Arqueologicordquo to learn more about the rich cultural inheritance The entire region soon reveals a mystique that is fascinating and makes you wish you could stay longer
THE THIN AIR AT ALMAThe ALMA Radio Telescope is equally impressive At an altitude of over 5 000 metres the relative lack of oxygen is a major concern apart from the extreme temperatures solar radiation and dry air I also experienced the unsettling feeling of having very little energy to perform any physical exercise feeling slightly light-headed and also developing a minor headache before returning to the
CHILE Deserts volcanoes earthquakes and more on the journey to see the ALMA Radio Telescope near San Pedro de Atacama - at an altitude where oxygen is scarce and UV radiation dangerously highBy Richard Lord
Ultraviolet radiation warning monitor at ALMA Operations Support Facility
Richard Lord in Santiago
Operations Support Facility (OSF) which is at a modest altitude of 2 440 metres But it was worth it A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to stand on top of the world and admire the human accomplishment of an international effort
THE IQUIQUE EARTHQUAKEThe cherry on the top of this extraordinary trip was my first-ever experience of an earthquake The 2014 Iquique earthquake
struck off the coast of Chile on 1 April with a moment magnitude of 82 It even triggered a tsunami of up to 211 metres that hit Iquique It wasnrsquot quite as dramatic at San Pedro de Atacama but nevertheless an unforgettable experience The earth was shaking for quite a long time maybe two minutes and even the locals said that it was the biggest earthquake they had witnessed for many years How perfect was the timing
of this trip The aftershocks during the next few days were equally exciting Except perhaps the aftershock that struck Santiago on my way back to South Africa Lying in my hotel bed on the 10th floor at midnight and suddenly hearing the entire building groan and squeak under the stresses of being shaken to and fro I had to admit that enough was enough and it was time to go home

FOOD FROM THE HEART
An offer for Muse readers ndash not to be missed
Recipe from Make five Maak vyfServes 8
The festive season is nearly upon us and has various connotations for everyone Some think of it as the time for giving some dream of snow-dusted streets warm crackling fires and mistletoe others think of twinkling lights and ribbons For me it is a season of sunshine swimming pools happy kids family meals and of coursehellip fresh berriesI believe that we eat with our eyes and nothing is more beautiful than these little gems from nature Strawberries cherries blackberries blueberries raspberries ndash all glowing with that rich colour Having berries around is the easiest way to make pretty food To make the most of the short berry season I add berries to many different meals Anything from a fruit salad at breakfast on crumpets as a quick snack added to
a refreshing drink and even a salad with chicken fish or pork I also add berries to quick desserts like vanilla ice cream and roasted nuts or to a crumble for added colour Then of course these sweet and juicy fruits seem to hold a special place on the South African festive table as the cherry on top of a light pavlovaThis pavlova from Make five is a little easier than most with a marshmallowy texture on the inside The combination of cregraveme fraicircche and Greek yoghurt is definitely a treat for this special time of year Although other fruit is just as delicious the berries add that beautiful festive colour and a refreshing break from a heavy pudding Sophia Loren said lsquoThe most indispensable ingredient of all good home cooking love for those you are cooking forrsquo Happy holidays and good cooking

BERRY PAVLOVA
Tis the season for berries
Tips1 Use any fruit such as figs pomegranate
seeds and grapes Seasonal fruit like nectarines are delicious with berries
2 When beating egg whites to stiff peaks use a stainless steel or glass mixing bowl not plastic The beaters and the bowl must be very clean and dry as a greasy residue will prevent the eggs from forming stiff peaks
3 Eggs that are kept at room temperature beat to a much higher volume than those from the fridge
4 Add the yolks to scrambled eggs or a fritatta

WELCOME
This familiar predator is also known as the Fiscal Shrike or Butcherbird Its black-and-white plumage and fierce habits which include impaling its prey in larders on thorns or spiky fences apparently recalled the early taxman or Fiskaal It hunts from a prominent perch and prey is varied ranging from grasshoppers to chameleons and even sometimes other nestlings which it dismembers with its sturdy hooked bill (although it is not a true raptor)The young are much browner and fluffier and are very noisy once they leave the nest often attracting attention to themselves with their harsh begging calls The very similar Fiscal Flycatcher has a shorter whiter tail and slender bill and doesnt occur in Pinelands

A Big Thank Youto all our clients family and friendsfor your support during the past year
So 2014 turned out to be another good year for sellers and landlords in Pinelands and Thornton Prices increased on average by 12 but it was rentals that exceeded expectationsAt any given moment there would be more than five good applications for rental accommodation when available and at the time of writing not one of our tenants was in arrears It is now almost impossible to find rentals under R5 000 pm with the average family home renting at about R15 000 pm

PROPERTY POINTERSNOMINEES amp POTENTIAL DOUBLE TRANSFER DUTY PENALTIESEvery now and then we come across a situation whereby the Purchaser is unsure whether he wants to put the property into his own name or someone elsersquos name and the Purchaser is identified in the Offer to Purchase in his own name or Nominee There is sometimes the mistaken impression that a Nominee can be nominated at any later stage This is incorrect Unless the Nominee is nominated and accepts the nomination in writing by midnight on the day that the offer is concluded (conclusion in terms of Section 16 of the Transfer Duty Act is the date on which the Seller accepts the offer) the transaction itself attracts double transfer dutyIn effect it means that SARS views this as two separate transactions

Ashoka Changemaker School one of only 4 in South Africa so far We join 100 schools internationally who have this status 43 schools in South Africa were nominated14 schools visited and 7 schools were interviewed Finally 4 were chosen
Congratulations to all who have created a school who encompasses creativity empathy leadership and teamwork

THE DIVIDED HOUSEHOLD
YOUR LIFE AND YOUR CHILDS LIFEOne thing that is happening more and more in our modern day world is the increase of children who are being raised by separated parents especially noticeable when the Christmas holidays come aroundThe most important thing to remember is that no matter how the two parents have separated ndash more often than not with bad feelings ndash that there is only one person who pays the real price and that is the child Parents need to own that no matter which parent has decided to move on both need to deal with it Each parent should sit down and make a list as to what they wish their new life to be like and a separate list for what they would like for their childrenWhen their parents split up children take the blame squarely on their shoulders and will internalise that if they had done lsquoXrsquo in a different way then their parents would still be together It is heart-breaking when parents place their own personal issues before that of the child
INPUT FROM BOTH PARENTSContact with both parents is crucial to the development of the child and once they grow up and mature you will be proud that you have a clean slate and your child will continue to have a good relationship with you If however you have kept the child away from the other spouse then they will harbour ill feelings towards you
COMMON GROUND TO PROVIDE STABILITYA child needs both parents they have not divorced either of them Each parent needs to develop their new set of rules for the home and accept that the other spouse now in their new abode may have completely different rules There also needs to be common ground where the child still continues with the same values
in both homes The child needs to be with each parent 50 of the time if possible as both parents are still the childrsquos parents
INFORM THE SCHOOLWith regard to school each parent needs to inform their childrsquos school and they need to receive all emails or communication from the school so that they are informed as to what is happening in their childrsquos life When money needs to be given to the school for outings etc the parents need to take ownership and balance what is needed so that the child does not feel the effects of the financial battle that may be going on between their parents Financial matters of any sort are for the adults to deal with and not for the children to worry about
HOW TO SHARE CHRISTMASEven more important with Christmas around the corner is to ensure that the child spends quality time with each parent where possible One year they can wake up with Mum and the next with Dad One needs to learn not to be selfish ndash remember it is not for you but for your child If they spend the lsquowaking uprsquo time with you then lunch could possibly be spent with the other parent if both parents live in the same town As long as both parents are positive and create a good working relationship your child will develop knowing a true sense of self and what relationships are all about Children learn from our behaviour and when they are older will re-enact what we have done
TWO LOVING HOMESBut it is not all doom and gloom If you sit down and work through this process without the emotions you will have a positive child who will flourish even though they have parents in different homes And when the time comes they will be able to say that it was better to have two loving homes than one constant battlefield
THE CHALLENGEAnd so I challenge all divorced or separated parents to share be reasonable and let your child remember this Christmas as one of the best thus far

PHAMBILI COMMUNITY PROJECTSPhambili is a non-profit organisation that grew out of Pinelands Methodist Church in response to fires in Langa in 2000 Since then many Pinelanders have been and still are involved in its projects and management We currently run three projects that aim to engage with the needs of the surrounding communities a job-readiness course that equips those searching for work with skills to be able to do so effectively (Zanokhanyo) a volunteer programme at Mokone Primary School in Langa (Umthombo) and Phambili Print amp Design which offers high quality digital and litho printing for businesses and individuals as a means of raising funds for the other projects
PHAMBILI AS A VEHICLEFOR COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENTMany people care for the needs of the suburbs surrounding Pinelands (and the people that subsequently enter Pinelands) but often donrsquot know how to
engage with them Phambili ngeThemba is dedicated to seeing transformation come to the informal area of Langa and the greater Cape Town region We aim to do this by enriching vibrant communities economically educationally and spiritually encouraging them to contribute to the future with dignity and respectThe hope is that Phambili might have the opportunity to share their experiences of working with people in need over the years and the stories of hope of people they have come into contact with so that they can be an uplifting influence to others
A HEARTWARMING STORYOF UPLIFTMENT BY PHAMBILIAfter completing the Zanokhanyo Job Readiness Course Yolanda Mtakatya found work at a local documenting company Starting as a Preparation Clerk she was promoted after only three months to the position of Quality Check Team Leader By the end of the year she had made her mark and received an award for being the Team Leader of the Year Getting promoted was not the only exciting thing that happened to this young mother ndash she also got married When asked how she manages to do so well in her job she said that Zanokhanyo helped build her confidence and perseverance and taught her valuable interviewing skills and the importance of punctuality She also emphasized that prayer played a big role in all of her achievements saying that she has never stopped praying

SURVIVING THE CHRISTMAS SPENDItrsquos starting to look like Christmas The malls are a maze of merriment and ablaze with bright baubles and as retailers fall over each other to sell you the fallacious promise that possessions are more valuable than experiences we ndash the consumer ndash are left dazed confused and all-too-often indebted As the season of excess approaches letrsquos gift ourselves a moment to plan how to survive the season without entering 2015 debt-laden and depressed It all starts with going back to basics
THE MEANING OF CHRISTMASYou donrsquot need to be Christian to appreciate the broader meaning of this season For many South Africans December is a time to take leave spend meaningful moments with family and friends and unwind It is a period of rest and rejuvenation A time of reflection and repose A season of giving celebrating and breaking bread together as we feast on fellowship How this beautiful season became so horrendously hi-jacked by the retail industry is a topic for another discussion but the challenge this Christmas is for each and every one of us to rediscover the beauty of Christmas free from the pressure to out-purchase the Potgieters
DOING WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPYResearch into consumer behaviour is unanimous ndash as humans we derive more joy from experiences than we do from purchasing material possessions In fact some research has found that consumers derive three times more pleasure from the anticipation of the purchase than from the actual act of purchasing ndash not least because they are plagued by buyerrsquos remorse and gut-wrenching guilt So if spending time with loved ones makes us happy and spending too much money makes us sad how is it that so many of us opt for the latter to the detriment of the former
MONEY MATTERS
Back to Basics
By Sue Torr Director at Crue Consulting
IT DOESNT NEED TO BE A TIME OF EXCESSThe answer is quite probably that as consumers we so easily become victims of over-stimulating retail environments and marketing messages that lead us to desert our very own value systems We are tempted to accept that in this season of excessive eating drinking resting fun feasting and fellowship it is inevitably also a season of excessive spending And when everybody else is blowing their bonus on this seasonrsquos must-have gaming station the power of the herd mentality is prone to usurp logic The truth however is that December is no extraordinary month But for the extra bottles of bubbly and tender turkey the same set of fiscal commitments exist as in any other month ndash and January brings a whole new set of financial commitments which include potentially high cost items such as school uniforms school fees premium increases to name just a few
IT REALLY IS THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTSIn getting back to basics we hold within us the power to reclaim Christmas and breathe new life into old adages such as ldquoitrsquos the thought that countsrdquo Because it really is In returning to basics we provide ourselves the opportunity to teach our children the value of both time and money Whether we help our children plant herb pots spray-paint pine cones or sell home-made Christmas cakes we are gifted not only with precious experiences but with the opportunity to instruct our children in environmental care the benefits of recycling and the need to support local business
KEEP IT SIMPLEBefore we succumb to mall madness letrsquos rediscover the pleasure of Christmas in the simplest of things Letrsquos buy local visit craft markets and support small business Letrsquos fortify the art of recycling re-using and re-purposing goods for the benefit of all Letrsquos relieve each other of the pressure to spend compete and compare Letrsquos rediscover the satisfaction of small gifts given with great love because in the words of Winnie-the-Pooh ldquoSometimes the smallest things take up the most room in our heartsrdquo
The second best

In April this year three colleagues from the SKA Organisation in Manchester and I travelled to the Republic of Chile to visit the ALMA Radio Telescope ALMA stands for ldquoAtacama Large Millimetersubmillimeter Arrayrdquo It is composed of 66 high-precision antennas and is located on the Chajnantor plateau in Northern Chilersquos Atacama desert at an altitude of 5 000 metres The purpose of the trip was to learn as much as possible from the ALMA team Their experience regarding the integration and verification of such a large instrument will benefit the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) which is co-sited in the deserts of South Africa and Australia (see Muse Dec 2012Jan 2013)
THE CAPITAL ndash SANTIAGOWe arrived in Santiago the capital city of Chile after a ten-hour flight from Johannesburg to Sao Paulo and another four-and-a-half hour flight from Sao Paulo to Santiago With a population of nearly six million people Santiago is also the largest city in Chile Skyscrapers and unattractive apartment blocks cover the horizon but the city centre does have a peculiar
earthy charm ndash and many stray dogs The influence of the Roman Catholic Church is also evident with many beautiful churches decorated with exquisite ornaments and religious statues
SAN PEDRO DE ATACAMAFrom Santiago we flew to Calama in North-Eastern Chile followed by a one-hour bus ride to San Pedro de Atacama San Pedro de Atacama is a small town with only a few thousand inhabitants but it seemed to buzz with just as many tourists with one BampB located next to the other It is a charming town though and the hub for many tourists visiting the region I wished I had had more time to explore the surroundings and soon came to appreciate what brings so many tourists to the worldrsquos driest desert ndash Northern Chile has a majestic beauty that is different from any other place I have been to The mountains are gigantic dwarfing the Hottentots Holland mountains that we so admire when travelling towards Worcester from Cape Town Due to the mineral content of the soil (or so I have been told)
the mountains sometimes display shades of orange and purple and green adding to their grandeur And then there is the Licancabur Volcano which used to be a sacred place for the Inca Empire a place where the Incas would carry out religious ceremonies to worship the sun Laguna Chaxa a national reservation located at the heart of the Atacama salt pan is inhabited by three species of flamingos year-round Or you could join a ldquoTour Arqueologicordquo to learn more about the rich cultural inheritance The entire region soon reveals a mystique that is fascinating and makes you wish you could stay longer
THE THIN AIR AT ALMAThe ALMA Radio Telescope is equally impressive At an altitude of over 5 000 metres the relative lack of oxygen is a major concern apart from the extreme temperatures solar radiation and dry air I also experienced the unsettling feeling of having very little energy to perform any physical exercise feeling slightly light-headed and also developing a minor headache before returning to the
CHILE Deserts volcanoes earthquakes and more on the journey to see the ALMA Radio Telescope near San Pedro de Atacama - at an altitude where oxygen is scarce and UV radiation dangerously highBy Richard Lord
Ultraviolet radiation warning monitor at ALMA Operations Support Facility
Richard Lord in Santiago
Operations Support Facility (OSF) which is at a modest altitude of 2 440 metres But it was worth it A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to stand on top of the world and admire the human accomplishment of an international effort
THE IQUIQUE EARTHQUAKEThe cherry on the top of this extraordinary trip was my first-ever experience of an earthquake The 2014 Iquique earthquake
struck off the coast of Chile on 1 April with a moment magnitude of 82 It even triggered a tsunami of up to 211 metres that hit Iquique It wasnrsquot quite as dramatic at San Pedro de Atacama but nevertheless an unforgettable experience The earth was shaking for quite a long time maybe two minutes and even the locals said that it was the biggest earthquake they had witnessed for many years How perfect was the timing
of this trip The aftershocks during the next few days were equally exciting Except perhaps the aftershock that struck Santiago on my way back to South Africa Lying in my hotel bed on the 10th floor at midnight and suddenly hearing the entire building groan and squeak under the stresses of being shaken to and fro I had to admit that enough was enough and it was time to go home

FOOD FROM THE HEART
An offer for Muse readers ndash not to be missed
Recipe from Make five Maak vyfServes 8
The festive season is nearly upon us and has various connotations for everyone Some think of it as the time for giving some dream of snow-dusted streets warm crackling fires and mistletoe others think of twinkling lights and ribbons For me it is a season of sunshine swimming pools happy kids family meals and of coursehellip fresh berriesI believe that we eat with our eyes and nothing is more beautiful than these little gems from nature Strawberries cherries blackberries blueberries raspberries ndash all glowing with that rich colour Having berries around is the easiest way to make pretty food To make the most of the short berry season I add berries to many different meals Anything from a fruit salad at breakfast on crumpets as a quick snack added to
a refreshing drink and even a salad with chicken fish or pork I also add berries to quick desserts like vanilla ice cream and roasted nuts or to a crumble for added colour Then of course these sweet and juicy fruits seem to hold a special place on the South African festive table as the cherry on top of a light pavlovaThis pavlova from Make five is a little easier than most with a marshmallowy texture on the inside The combination of cregraveme fraicircche and Greek yoghurt is definitely a treat for this special time of year Although other fruit is just as delicious the berries add that beautiful festive colour and a refreshing break from a heavy pudding Sophia Loren said lsquoThe most indispensable ingredient of all good home cooking love for those you are cooking forrsquo Happy holidays and good cooking

BERRY PAVLOVA
Tis the season for berries
Tips1 Use any fruit such as figs pomegranate
seeds and grapes Seasonal fruit like nectarines are delicious with berries
2 When beating egg whites to stiff peaks use a stainless steel or glass mixing bowl not plastic The beaters and the bowl must be very clean and dry as a greasy residue will prevent the eggs from forming stiff peaks
3 Eggs that are kept at room temperature beat to a much higher volume than those from the fridge
4 Add the yolks to scrambled eggs or a fritatta

A Big Thank Youto all our clients family and friendsfor your support during the past year
So 2014 turned out to be another good year for sellers and landlords in Pinelands and Thornton Prices increased on average by 12 but it was rentals that exceeded expectationsAt any given moment there would be more than five good applications for rental accommodation when available and at the time of writing not one of our tenants was in arrears It is now almost impossible to find rentals under R5 000 pm with the average family home renting at about R15 000 pm

Dec 2014 Jan 2015 | the muse | 6

Ashoka Changemaker School one of only 4 in South Africa so far We join 100 schools internationally who have this status 43 schools in South Africa were nominated14 schools visited and 7 schools were interviewed Finally 4 were chosen
Congratulations to all who have created a school who encompasses creativity empathy leadership and teamwork
WHAT IS ASHOKA Ashoka believes that in our fast changing world we need a critical set of skills including empathy and team work in leadership and changemaking to solve complex social problems and be successful in the world PNPS is known as an
inclusive school which resonates with the theme Everyone a Changemaker World where each person regardless of age or background can play a part in shaping the future of the world with confidence skills and support to drive the change The name Ashoka is after an Indian leader who in the 3rd century BC renounced violence and dedicated his life to social welfare and economic development ndash his creativity global mindedness and tolerance are an early example of social innovation See wwwashokaorg

THE DIVIDED HOUSEHOLD
YOUR LIFE AND YOUR CHILDS LIFEOne thing that is happening more and more in our modern day world is the increase of children who are being raised by separated parents especially noticeable when the Christmas holidays come aroundThe most important thing to remember is that no matter how the two parents have separated ndash more often than not with bad feelings ndash that there is only one person who pays the real price and that is the child Parents need to own that no matter which parent has decided to move on both need to deal with it Each parent should sit down and make a list as to what they wish their new life to be like and a separate list for what they would like for their childrenWhen their parents split up children take the blame squarely on their shoulders and will internalise that if they had done lsquoXrsquo in a different way then their parents would still be together It is heart-breaking when parents place their own personal issues before that of the child
INPUT FROM BOTH PARENTSContact with both parents is crucial to the development of the child and once they grow up and mature you will be proud that you have a clean slate and your child will continue to have a good relationship with you If however you have kept the child away from the other spouse then they will harbour ill feelings towards you
COMMON GROUND TO PROVIDE STABILITYA child needs both parents they have not divorced either of them Each parent needs to develop their new set of rules for the home and accept that the other spouse now in their new abode may have completely different rules There also needs to be common ground where the child still continues with the same values
in both homes The child needs to be with each parent 50 of the time if possible as both parents are still the childrsquos parents
INFORM THE SCHOOLWith regard to school each parent needs to inform their childrsquos school and they need to receive all emails or communication from the school so that they are informed as to what is happening in their childrsquos life When money needs to be given to the school for outings etc the parents need to take ownership and balance what is needed so that the child does not feel the effects of the financial battle that may be going on between their parents Financial matters of any sort are for the adults to deal with and not for the children to worry about
HOW TO SHARE CHRISTMASEven more important with Christmas around the corner is to ensure that the child spends quality time with each parent where possible One year they can wake up with Mum and the next with Dad One needs to learn not to be selfish ndash remember it is not for you but for your child If they spend the lsquowaking uprsquo time with you then lunch could possibly be spent with the other parent if both parents live in the same town As long as both parents are positive and create a good working relationship your child will develop knowing a true sense of self and what relationships are all about Children learn from our behaviour and when they are older will re-enact what we have done
TWO LOVING HOMESBut it is not all doom and gloom If you sit down and work through this process without the emotions you will have a positive child who will flourish even though they have parents in different homes And when the time comes they will be able to say that it was better to have two loving homes than one constant battlefield
THE CHALLENGEAnd so I challenge all divorced or separated parents to share be reasonable and let your child remember this Christmas as one of the best thus far

PHAMBILI COMMUNITY PROJECTSPhambili is a non-profit organisation that grew out of Pinelands Methodist Church in response to fires in Langa in 2000 Since then many Pinelanders have been and still are involved in its projects and management We currently run three projects that aim to engage with the needs of the surrounding communities a job-readiness course that equips those searching for work with skills to be able to do so effectively (Zanokhanyo) a volunteer programme at Mokone Primary School in Langa (Umthombo) and Phambili Print amp Design which offers high quality digital and litho printing for businesses and individuals as a means of raising funds for the other projects
PHAMBILI AS A VEHICLEFOR COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENTMany people care for the needs of the suburbs surrounding Pinelands (and the people that subsequently enter Pinelands) but often donrsquot know how to
engage with them Phambili ngeThemba is dedicated to seeing transformation come to the informal area of Langa and the greater Cape Town region We aim to do this by enriching vibrant communities economically educationally and spiritually encouraging them to contribute to the future with dignity and respectThe hope is that Phambili might have the opportunity to share their experiences of working with people in need over the years and the stories of hope of people they have come into contact with so that they can be an uplifting influence to others
A HEARTWARMING STORYOF UPLIFTMENT BY PHAMBILIAfter completing the Zanokhanyo Job Readiness Course Yolanda Mtakatya found work at a local documenting company Starting as a Preparation Clerk she was promoted after only three months to the position of Quality Check Team Leader By the end of the year she had made her mark and received an award for being the Team Leader of the Year Getting promoted was not the only exciting thing that happened to this young mother ndash she also got married When asked how she manages to do so well in her job she said that Zanokhanyo helped build her confidence and perseverance and taught her valuable interviewing skills and the importance of punctuality She also emphasized that prayer played a big role in all of her achievements saying that she has never stopped praying

SURVIVING THE CHRISTMAS SPENDItrsquos starting to look like Christmas The malls are a maze of merriment and ablaze with bright baubles and as retailers fall over each other to sell you the fallacious promise that possessions are more valuable than experiences we ndash the consumer ndash are left dazed confused and all-too-often indebted As the season of excess approaches letrsquos gift ourselves a moment to plan how to survive the season without entering 2015 debt-laden and depressed It all starts with going back to basics
THE MEANING OF CHRISTMASYou donrsquot need to be Christian to appreciate the broader meaning of this season For many South Africans December is a time to take leave spend meaningful moments with family and friends and unwind It is a period of rest and rejuvenation A time of reflection and repose A season of giving celebrating and breaking bread together as we feast on fellowship How this beautiful season became so horrendously hi-jacked by the retail industry is a topic for another discussion but the challenge this Christmas is for each and every one of us to rediscover the beauty of Christmas free from the pressure to out-purchase the Potgieters
DOING WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPYResearch into consumer behaviour is unanimous ndash as humans we derive more joy from experiences than we do from purchasing material possessions In fact some research has found that consumers derive three times more pleasure from the anticipation of the purchase than from the actual act of purchasing ndash not least because they are plagued by buyerrsquos remorse and gut-wrenching guilt So if spending time with loved ones makes us happy and spending too much money makes us sad how is it that so many of us opt for the latter to the detriment of the former
MONEY MATTERS
Back to Basics
By Sue Torr Director at Crue Consulting
IT DOESNT NEED TO BE A TIME OF EXCESSThe answer is quite probably that as consumers we so easily become victims of over-stimulating retail environments and marketing messages that lead us to desert our very own value systems We are tempted to accept that in this season of excessive eating drinking resting fun feasting and fellowship it is inevitably also a season of excessive spending And when everybody else is blowing their bonus on this seasonrsquos must-have gaming station the power of the herd mentality is prone to usurp logic The truth however is that December is no extraordinary month But for the extra bottles of bubbly and tender turkey the same set of fiscal commitments exist as in any other month ndash and January brings a whole new set of financial commitments which include potentially high cost items such as school uniforms school fees premium increases to name just a few
IT REALLY IS THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTSIn getting back to basics we hold within us the power to reclaim Christmas and breathe new life into old adages such as ldquoitrsquos the thought that countsrdquo Because it really is In returning to basics we provide ourselves the opportunity to teach our children the value of both time and money Whether we help our children plant herb pots spray-paint pine cones or sell home-made Christmas cakes we are gifted not only with precious experiences but with the opportunity to instruct our children in environmental care the benefits of recycling and the need to support local business
KEEP IT SIMPLEBefore we succumb to mall madness letrsquos rediscover the pleasure of Christmas in the simplest of things Letrsquos buy local visit craft markets and support small business Letrsquos fortify the art of recycling re-using and re-purposing goods for the benefit of all Letrsquos relieve each other of the pressure to spend compete and compare Letrsquos rediscover the satisfaction of small gifts given with great love because in the words of Winnie-the-Pooh ldquoSometimes the smallest things take up the most room in our heartsrdquo

In April this year three colleagues from the SKA Organisation in Manchester and I travelled to the Republic of Chile to visit the ALMA Radio Telescope ALMA stands for ldquoAtacama Large Millimetersubmillimeter Arrayrdquo It is composed of 66 high-precision antennas and is located on the Chajnantor plateau in Northern Chilersquos Atacama desert at an altitude of 5 000 metres The purpose of the trip was to learn as much as possible from the ALMA team Their experience regarding the integration and verification of such a large instrument will benefit the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) which is co-sited in the deserts of South Africa and Australia (see Muse Dec 2012Jan 2013)
THE CAPITAL ndash SANTIAGOWe arrived in Santiago the capital city of Chile after a ten-hour flight from Johannesburg to Sao Paulo and another four-and-a-half hour flight from Sao Paulo to Santiago With a population of nearly six million people Santiago is also the largest city in Chile Skyscrapers and unattractive apartment blocks cover the horizon but the city centre does have a peculiar
earthy charm ndash and many stray dogs The influence of the Roman Catholic Church is also evident with many beautiful churches decorated with exquisite ornaments and religious statues
SAN PEDRO DE ATACAMAFrom Santiago we flew to Calama in North-Eastern Chile followed by a one-hour bus ride to San Pedro de Atacama San Pedro de Atacama is a small town with only a few thousand inhabitants but it seemed to buzz with just as many tourists with one BampB located next to the other It is a charming town though and the hub for many tourists visiting the region I wished I had had more time to explore the surroundings and soon came to appreciate what brings so many tourists to the worldrsquos driest desert ndash Northern Chile has a majestic beauty that is different from any other place I have been to The mountains are gigantic dwarfing the Hottentots Holland mountains that we so admire when travelling towards Worcester from Cape Town Due to the mineral content of the soil (or so I have been told)
the mountains sometimes display shades of orange and purple and green adding to their grandeur And then there is the Licancabur Volcano which used to be a sacred place for the Inca Empire a place where the Incas would carry out religious ceremonies to worship the sun Laguna Chaxa a national reservation located at the heart of the Atacama salt pan is inhabited by three species of flamingos year-round Or you could join a ldquoTour Arqueologicordquo to learn more about the rich cultural inheritance The entire region soon reveals a mystique that is fascinating and makes you wish you could stay longer
THE THIN AIR AT ALMAThe ALMA Radio Telescope is equally impressive At an altitude of over 5 000 metres the relative lack of oxygen is a major concern apart from the extreme temperatures solar radiation and dry air I also experienced the unsettling feeling of having very little energy to perform any physical exercise feeling slightly light-headed and also developing a minor headache before returning to the
CHILE Deserts volcanoes earthquakes and more on the journey to see the ALMA Radio Telescope near San Pedro de Atacama - at an altitude where oxygen is scarce and UV radiation dangerously highBy Richard Lord
Ultraviolet radiation warning monitor at ALMA Operations Support Facility
Richard Lord in Santiago
Operations Support Facility (OSF) which is at a modest altitude of 2 440 metres But it was worth it A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to stand on top of the world and admire the human accomplishment of an international effort
THE IQUIQUE EARTHQUAKEThe cherry on the top of this extraordinary trip was my first-ever experience of an earthquake The 2014 Iquique earthquake
struck off the coast of Chile on 1 April with a moment magnitude of 82 It even triggered a tsunami of up to 211 metres that hit Iquique It wasnrsquot quite as dramatic at San Pedro de Atacama but nevertheless an unforgettable experience The earth was shaking for quite a long time maybe two minutes and even the locals said that it was the biggest earthquake they had witnessed for many years How perfect was the timing
of this trip The aftershocks during the next few days were equally exciting Except perhaps the aftershock that struck Santiago on my way back to South Africa Lying in my hotel bed on the 10th floor at midnight and suddenly hearing the entire building groan and squeak under the stresses of being shaken to and fro I had to admit that enough was enough and it was time to go home

FOOD FROM THE HEART
An offer for Muse readers ndash not to be missed
Recipe from Make five Maak vyfServes 8
The festive season is nearly upon us and has various connotations for everyone Some think of it as the time for giving some dream of snow-dusted streets warm crackling fires and mistletoe others think of twinkling lights and ribbons For me it is a season of sunshine swimming pools happy kids family meals and of coursehellip fresh berriesI believe that we eat with our eyes and nothing is more beautiful than these little gems from nature Strawberries cherries blackberries blueberries raspberries ndash all glowing with that rich colour Having berries around is the easiest way to make pretty food To make the most of the short berry season I add berries to many different meals Anything from a fruit salad at breakfast on crumpets as a quick snack added to
a refreshing drink and even a salad with chicken fish or pork I also add berries to quick desserts like vanilla ice cream and roasted nuts or to a crumble for added colour Then of course these sweet and juicy fruits seem to hold a special place on the South African festive table as the cherry on top of a light pavlovaThis pavlova from Make five is a little easier than most with a marshmallowy texture on the inside The combination of cregraveme fraicircche and Greek yoghurt is definitely a treat for this special time of year Although other fruit is just as delicious the berries add that beautiful festive colour and a refreshing break from a heavy pudding Sophia Loren said lsquoThe most indispensable ingredient of all good home cooking love for those you are cooking forrsquo Happy holidays and good cooking

BERRY PAVLOVA
Tis the season for berries
Tips1 Use any fruit such as figs pomegranate
seeds and grapes Seasonal fruit like nectarines are delicious with berries
2 When beating egg whites to stiff peaks use a stainless steel or glass mixing bowl not plastic The beaters and the bowl must be very clean and dry as a greasy residue will prevent the eggs from forming stiff peaks
3 Eggs that are kept at room temperature beat to a much higher volume than those from the fridge
4 Add the yolks to scrambled eggs or a fritatta

A Big Thank Youto all our clients family and friendsfor your support during the past year
So 2014 turned out to be another good year for sellers and landlords in Pinelands and Thornton Prices increased on average by 12 but it was rentals that exceeded expectationsAt any given moment there would be more than five good applications for rental accommodation when available and at the time of writing not one of our tenants was in arrears It is now almost impossible to find rentals under R5 000 pm with the average family home renting at about R15 000 pm

PROPERTY POINTERSNOMINEES amp POTENTIAL DOUBLE TRANSFER DUTY PENALTIESEvery now and then we come across a situation whereby the Purchaser is unsure whether he wants to put the property into his own name or someone elsersquos name and the Purchaser is identified in the Offer to Purchase in his own name or Nominee There is sometimes the mistaken impression that a Nominee can be nominated at any later stage This is incorrect Unless the Nominee is nominated and accepts the nomination in writing by midnight on the day that the offer is concluded (conclusion in terms of Section 16 of the Transfer Duty Act is the date on which the Seller accepts the offer) the transaction itself attracts double transfer dutyIn effect it means that SARS views this as two separate transactions

THE DIVIDED HOUSEHOLD
YOUR LIFE AND YOUR CHILDS LIFEOne thing that is happening more and more in our modern day world is the increase of children who are being raised by separated parents especially noticeable when the Christmas holidays come aroundThe most important thing to remember is that no matter how the two parents have separated ndash more often than not with bad feelings ndash that there is only one person who pays the real price and that is the child Parents need to own that no matter which parent has decided to move on both need to deal with it Each parent should sit down and make a list as to what they wish their new life to be like and a separate list for what they would like for their childrenWhen their parents split up children take the blame squarely on their shoulders and will internalise that if they had done lsquoXrsquo in a different way then their parents would still be together It is heart-breaking when parents place their own personal issues before that of the child
INPUT FROM BOTH PARENTSContact with both parents is crucial to the development of the child and once they grow up and mature you will be proud that you have a clean slate and your child will continue to have a good relationship with you If however you have kept the child away from the other spouse then they will harbour ill feelings towards you
COMMON GROUND TO PROVIDE STABILITYA child needs both parents they have not divorced either of them Each parent needs to develop their new set of rules for the home and accept that the other spouse now in their new abode may have completely different rules There also needs to be common ground where the child still continues with the same values
in both homes The child needs to be with each parent 50 of the time if possible as both parents are still the childrsquos parents
INFORM THE SCHOOLWith regard to school each parent needs to inform their childrsquos school and they need to receive all emails or communication from the school so that they are informed as to what is happening in their childrsquos life When money needs to be given to the school for outings etc the parents need to take ownership and balance what is needed so that the child does not feel the effects of the financial battle that may be going on between their parents Financial matters of any sort are for the adults to deal with and not for the children to worry about
HOW TO SHARE CHRISTMASEven more important with Christmas around the corner is to ensure that the child spends quality time with each parent where possible One year they can wake up with Mum and the next with Dad One needs to learn not to be selfish ndash remember it is not for you but for your child If they spend the lsquowaking uprsquo time with you then lunch could possibly be spent with the other parent if both parents live in the same town As long as both parents are positive and create a good working relationship your child will develop knowing a true sense of self and what relationships are all about Children learn from our behaviour and when they are older will re-enact what we have done
TWO LOVING HOMESBut it is not all doom and gloom If you sit down and work through this process without the emotions you will have a positive child who will flourish even though they have parents in different homes And when the time comes they will be able to say that it was better to have two loving homes than one constant battlefield
THE CHALLENGEAnd so I challenge all divorced or separated parents to share be reasonable and let your child remember this Christmas as one of the best thus far

PHAMBILI COMMUNITY PROJECTSPhambili is a non-profit organisation that grew out of Pinelands Methodist Church in response to fires in Langa in 2000 Since then many Pinelanders have been and still are involved in its projects and management We currently run three projects that aim to engage with the needs of the surrounding communities a job-readiness course that equips those searching for work with skills to be able to do so effectively (Zanokhanyo) a volunteer programme at Mokone Primary School in Langa (Umthombo) and Phambili Print amp Design which offers high quality digital and litho printing for businesses and individuals as a means of raising funds for the other projects
PHAMBILI AS A VEHICLEFOR COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENTMany people care for the needs of the suburbs surrounding Pinelands (and the people that subsequently enter Pinelands) but often donrsquot know how to
engage with them Phambili ngeThemba is dedicated to seeing transformation come to the informal area of Langa and the greater Cape Town region We aim to do this by enriching vibrant communities economically educationally and spiritually encouraging them to contribute to the future with dignity and respectThe hope is that Phambili might have the opportunity to share their experiences of working with people in need over the years and the stories of hope of people they have come into contact with so that they can be an uplifting influence to others
A HEARTWARMING STORYOF UPLIFTMENT BY PHAMBILIAfter completing the Zanokhanyo Job Readiness Course Yolanda Mtakatya found work at a local documenting company Starting as a Preparation Clerk she was promoted after only three months to the position of Quality Check Team Leader By the end of the year she had made her mark and received an award for being the Team Leader of the Year Getting promoted was not the only exciting thing that happened to this young mother ndash she also got married When asked how she manages to do so well in her job she said that Zanokhanyo helped build her confidence and perseverance and taught her valuable interviewing skills and the importance of punctuality She also emphasized that prayer played a big role in all of her achievements saying that she has never stopped praying

Meet Paul Stohrer Rotarian and co-ordinator of the internationally acclaimed Carols at Kirstenbosch Gardens Paul is seen here with his wife Julia and daughter Amy ndash who has played a role in every nativity pageant held at the Carols at Kirstenbosch since she was five years old
20 YEARS OF CAROLS AT KIRSTENBOSCHThe Carols at Kirstenbosch previously known as Carols by Candlelight has been running for more than twenty years This popular family event is organised by Kirstenbosch Rotary Club with sponsorship from PicknPay and Paul feels privileged to be able to use his business expertise in IT and event management to see that the Carols in the Gardens goes smoothly This year the concert will run from Thursday 18th December a discounted evening until 21st December The gates for the concert open at 5pm and the concert begins at 8pm Come early for a good spot on the lawn

SURVIVING THE CHRISTMAS SPENDItrsquos starting to look like Christmas The malls are a maze of merriment and ablaze with bright baubles and as retailers fall over each other to sell you the fallacious promise that possessions are more valuable than experiences we ndash the consumer ndash are left dazed confused and all-too-often indebted As the season of excess approaches letrsquos gift ourselves a moment to plan how to survive the season without entering 2015 debt-laden and depressed It all starts with going back to basics
THE MEANING OF CHRISTMASYou donrsquot need to be Christian to appreciate the broader meaning of this season For many South Africans December is a time to take leave spend meaningful moments with family and friends and unwind It is a period of rest and rejuvenation A time of reflection and repose A season of giving celebrating and breaking bread together as we feast on fellowship How this beautiful season became so horrendously hi-jacked by the retail industry is a topic for another discussion but the challenge this Christmas is for each and every one of us to rediscover the beauty of Christmas free from the pressure to out-purchase the Potgieters
DOING WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPYResearch into consumer behaviour is unanimous ndash as humans we derive more joy from experiences than we do from purchasing material possessions In fact some research has found that consumers derive three times more pleasure from the anticipation of the purchase than from the actual act of purchasing ndash not least because they are plagued by buyerrsquos remorse and gut-wrenching guilt So if spending time with loved ones makes us happy and spending too much money makes us sad how is it that so many of us opt for the latter to the detriment of the former
MONEY MATTERS
Back to Basics
By Sue Torr Director at Crue Consulting
IT DOESNT NEED TO BE A TIME OF EXCESSThe answer is quite probably that as consumers we so easily become victims of over-stimulating retail environments and marketing messages that lead us to desert our very own value systems We are tempted to accept that in this season of excessive eating drinking resting fun feasting and fellowship it is inevitably also a season of excessive spending And when everybody else is blowing their bonus on this seasonrsquos must-have gaming station the power of the herd mentality is prone to usurp logic The truth however is that December is no extraordinary month But for the extra bottles of bubbly and tender turkey the same set of fiscal commitments exist as in any other month ndash and January brings a whole new set of financial commitments which include potentially high cost items such as school uniforms school fees premium increases to name just a few
IT REALLY IS THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTSIn getting back to basics we hold within us the power to reclaim Christmas and breathe new life into old adages such as ldquoitrsquos the thought that countsrdquo Because it really is In returning to basics we provide ourselves the opportunity to teach our children the value of both time and money Whether we help our children plant herb pots spray-paint pine cones or sell home-made Christmas cakes we are gifted not only with precious experiences but with the opportunity to instruct our children in environmental care the benefits of recycling and the need to support local business
KEEP IT SIMPLEBefore we succumb to mall madness letrsquos rediscover the pleasure of Christmas in the simplest of things Letrsquos buy local visit craft markets and support small business Letrsquos fortify the art of recycling re-using and re-purposing goods for the benefit of all Letrsquos relieve each other of the pressure to spend compete and compare Letrsquos rediscover the satisfaction of small gifts given with great love because in the words of Winnie-the-Pooh ldquoSometimes the smallest things take up the most room in our heartsrdquo
The second best

In April this year three colleagues from the SKA Organisation in Manchester and I travelled to the Republic of Chile to visit the ALMA Radio Telescope ALMA stands for ldquoAtacama Large Millimetersubmillimeter Arrayrdquo It is composed of 66 high-precision antennas and is located on the Chajnantor plateau in Northern Chilersquos Atacama desert at an altitude of 5 000 metres The purpose of the trip was to learn as much as possible from the ALMA team Their experience regarding the integration and verification of such a large instrument will benefit the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) which is co-sited in the deserts of South Africa and Australia (see Muse Dec 2012Jan 2013)
THE CAPITAL ndash SANTIAGOWe arrived in Santiago the capital city of Chile after a ten-hour flight from Johannesburg to Sao Paulo and another four-and-a-half hour flight from Sao Paulo to Santiago With a population of nearly six million people Santiago is also the largest city in Chile Skyscrapers and unattractive apartment blocks cover the horizon but the city centre does have a peculiar
earthy charm ndash and many stray dogs The influence of the Roman Catholic Church is also evident with many beautiful churches decorated with exquisite ornaments and religious statues
SAN PEDRO DE ATACAMAFrom Santiago we flew to Calama in North-Eastern Chile followed by a one-hour bus ride to San Pedro de Atacama San Pedro de Atacama is a small town with only a few thousand inhabitants but it seemed to buzz with just as many tourists with one BampB located next to the other It is a charming town though and the hub for many tourists visiting the region I wished I had had more time to explore the surroundings and soon came to appreciate what brings so many tourists to the worldrsquos driest desert ndash Northern Chile has a majestic beauty that is different from any other place I have been to The mountains are gigantic dwarfing the Hottentots Holland mountains that we so admire when travelling towards Worcester from Cape Town Due to the mineral content of the soil (or so I have been told)
the mountains sometimes display shades of orange and purple and green adding to their grandeur And then there is the Licancabur Volcano which used to be a sacred place for the Inca Empire a place where the Incas would carry out religious ceremonies to worship the sun Laguna Chaxa a national reservation located at the heart of the Atacama salt pan is inhabited by three species of flamingos year-round Or you could join a ldquoTour Arqueologicordquo to learn more about the rich cultural inheritance The entire region soon reveals a mystique that is fascinating and makes you wish you could stay longer
THE THIN AIR AT ALMAThe ALMA Radio Telescope is equally impressive At an altitude of over 5 000 metres the relative lack of oxygen is a major concern apart from the extreme temperatures solar radiation and dry air I also experienced the unsettling feeling of having very little energy to perform any physical exercise feeling slightly light-headed and also developing a minor headache before returning to the
CHILE Deserts volcanoes earthquakes and more on the journey to see the ALMA Radio Telescope near San Pedro de Atacama - at an altitude where oxygen is scarce and UV radiation dangerously highBy Richard Lord
Ultraviolet radiation warning monitor at ALMA Operations Support Facility
Richard Lord in Santiago
Operations Support Facility (OSF) which is at a modest altitude of 2 440 metres But it was worth it A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to stand on top of the world and admire the human accomplishment of an international effort
THE IQUIQUE EARTHQUAKEThe cherry on the top of this extraordinary trip was my first-ever experience of an earthquake The 2014 Iquique earthquake
struck off the coast of Chile on 1 April with a moment magnitude of 82 It even triggered a tsunami of up to 211 metres that hit Iquique It wasnrsquot quite as dramatic at San Pedro de Atacama but nevertheless an unforgettable experience The earth was shaking for quite a long time maybe two minutes and even the locals said that it was the biggest earthquake they had witnessed for many years How perfect was the timing
of this trip The aftershocks during the next few days were equally exciting Except perhaps the aftershock that struck Santiago on my way back to South Africa Lying in my hotel bed on the 10th floor at midnight and suddenly hearing the entire building groan and squeak under the stresses of being shaken to and fro I had to admit that enough was enough and it was time to go home

FOOD FROM THE HEART

Recipe from Make five Maak vyfServes 8
The festive season is nearly upon us and has various connotations for everyone Some think of it as the time for giving some dream of snow-dusted streets warm crackling fires and mistletoe others think of twinkling lights and ribbons For me it is a season of sunshine swimming pools happy kids family meals and of coursehellip fresh berriesI believe that we eat with our eyes and nothing is more beautiful than these little gems from nature Strawberries cherries blackberries blueberries raspberries ndash all glowing with that rich colour Having berries around is the easiest way to make pretty food To make the most of the short berry season I add berries to many different meals Anything from a fruit salad at breakfast on crumpets as a quick snack added to
a refreshing drink and even a salad with chicken fish or pork I also add berries to quick desserts like vanilla ice cream and roasted nuts or to a crumble for added colour Then of course these sweet and juicy fruits seem to hold a special place on the South African festive table as the cherry on top of a light pavlovaThis pavlova from Make five is a little easier than most with a marshmallowy texture on the inside The combination of cregraveme fraicircche and Greek yoghurt is definitely a treat for this special time of year Although other fruit is just as delicious the berries add that beautiful festive colour and a refreshing break from a heavy pudding Sophia Loren said lsquoThe most indispensable ingredient of all good home cooking love for those you are cooking forrsquo Happy holidays and good cooking

BERRY PAVLOVA
Tis the season for berries
Tips1 Use any fruit such as figs pomegranate
seeds and grapes Seasonal fruit like nectarines are delicious with berries
2 When beating egg whites to stiff peaks use a stainless steel or glass mixing bowl not plastic The beaters and the bowl must be very clean and dry as a greasy residue will prevent the eggs from forming stiff peaks
3 Eggs that are kept at room temperature beat to a much higher volume than those from the fridge
4 Add the yolks to scrambled eggs or a fritatta

PROPERTY POINTERSNOMINEES amp POTENTIAL DOUBLE TRANSFER DUTY PENALTIESEvery now and then we come across a situation whereby the Purchaser is unsure whether he wants to put the property into his own name or someone elsersquos name and the Purchaser is identified in the Offer to Purchase in his own name or Nominee There is sometimes the mistaken impression that a Nominee can be nominated at any later stage This is incorrect Unless the Nominee is nominated and accepts the nomination in writing by midnight on the day that the offer is concluded (conclusion in terms of Section 16 of the Transfer Duty Act is the date on which the Seller accepts the offer) the transaction itself attracts double transfer dutyIn effect it means that SARS views this as two separate transactions

Dec 2014 Jan 2015 | the muse | 6

Ashoka Changemaker School one of only 4 in South Africa so far We join 100 schools internationally who have this status 43 schools in South Africa were nominated14 schools visited and 7 schools were interviewed Finally 4 were chosen
Congratulations to all who have created a school who encompasses creativity empathy leadership and teamwork

inclusive school which resonates with the theme Everyone a Changemaker World where each person regardless of age or background can play a part in shaping the future of the world with confidence skills and support to drive the change The name Ashoka is after an Indian leader who in the 3rd century BC renounced violence and dedicated his life to social welfare and economic development ndash his creativity global mindedness and tolerance are an early example of social innovation See wwwashokaorg

YOUR LIFE AND YOUR CHILDS LIFEOne thing that is happening more and more in our modern day world is the increase of children who are being raised by separated parents especially noticeable when the Christmas holidays come aroundThe most important thing to remember is that no matter how the two parents have separated ndash more often than not with bad feelings ndash that there is only one person who pays the real price and that is the child Parents need to own that no matter which parent has decided to move on both need to deal with it Each parent should sit down and make a list as to what they wish their new life to be like and a separate list for what they would like for their childrenWhen their parents split up children take the blame squarely on their shoulders and will internalise that if they had done lsquoXrsquo in a different way then their parents would still be together It is heart-breaking when parents place their own personal issues before that of the child
INPUT FROM BOTH PARENTSContact with both parents is crucial to the development of the child and once they grow up and mature you will be proud that you have a clean slate and your child will continue to have a good relationship with you If however you have kept the child away from the other spouse then they will harbour ill feelings towards you
COMMON GROUND TO PROVIDE STABILITYA child needs both parents they have not divorced either of them Each parent needs to develop their new set of rules for the home and accept that the other spouse now in their new abode may have completely different rules There also needs to be common ground where the child still continues with the same values
in both homes The child needs to be with each parent 50 of the time if possible as both parents are still the childrsquos parents
INFORM THE SCHOOLWith regard to school each parent needs to inform their childrsquos school and they need to receive all emails or communication from the school so that they are informed as to what is happening in their childrsquos life When money needs to be given to the school for outings etc the parents need to take ownership and balance what is needed so that the child does not feel the effects of the financial battle that may be going on between their parents Financial matters of any sort are for the adults to deal with and not for the children to worry about
HOW TO SHARE CHRISTMASEven more important with Christmas around the corner is to ensure that the child spends quality time with each parent where possible One year they can wake up with Mum and the next with Dad One needs to learn not to be selfish ndash remember it is not for you but for your child If they spend the lsquowaking uprsquo time with you then lunch could possibly be spent with the other parent if both parents live in the same town As long as both parents are positive and create a good working relationship your child will develop knowing a true sense of self and what relationships are all about Children learn from our behaviour and when they are older will re-enact what we have done
TWO LOVING HOMESBut it is not all doom and gloom If you sit down and work through this process without the emotions you will have a positive child who will flourish even though they have parents in different homes And when the time comes they will be able to say that it was better to have two loving homes than one constant battlefield
THE CHALLENGEAnd so I challenge all divorced or separated parents to share be reasonable and let your child remember this Christmas as one of the best thus far

PHAMBILI COMMUNITY PROJECTSPhambili is a non-profit organisation that grew out of Pinelands Methodist Church in response to fires in Langa in 2000 Since then many Pinelanders have been and still are involved in its projects and management We currently run three projects that aim to engage with the needs of the surrounding communities a job-readiness course that equips those searching for work with skills to be able to do so effectively (Zanokhanyo) a volunteer programme at Mokone Primary School in Langa (Umthombo) and Phambili Print amp Design which offers high quality digital and litho printing for businesses and individuals as a means of raising funds for the other projects
PHAMBILI AS A VEHICLEFOR COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENTMany people care for the needs of the suburbs surrounding Pinelands (and the people that subsequently enter Pinelands) but often donrsquot know how to
engage with them Phambili ngeThemba is dedicated to seeing transformation come to the informal area of Langa and the greater Cape Town region We aim to do this by enriching vibrant communities economically educationally and spiritually encouraging them to contribute to the future with dignity and respectThe hope is that Phambili might have the opportunity to share their experiences of working with people in need over the years and the stories of hope of people they have come into contact with so that they can be an uplifting influence to others
A HEARTWARMING STORYOF UPLIFTMENT BY PHAMBILIAfter completing the Zanokhanyo Job Readiness Course Yolanda Mtakatya found work at a local documenting company Starting as a Preparation Clerk she was promoted after only three months to the position of Quality Check Team Leader By the end of the year she had made her mark and received an award for being the Team Leader of the Year Getting promoted was not the only exciting thing that happened to this young mother ndash she also got married When asked how she manages to do so well in her job she said that Zanokhanyo helped build her confidence and perseverance and taught her valuable interviewing skills and the importance of punctuality She also emphasized that prayer played a big role in all of her achievements saying that she has never stopped praying

Meet Paul Stohrer Rotarian and co-ordinator of the internationally acclaimed Carols at Kirstenbosch Gardens Paul is seen here with his wife Julia and daughter Amy ndash who has played a role in every nativity pageant held at the Carols at Kirstenbosch since she was five years old
20 YEARS OF CAROLS AT KIRSTENBOSCHThe Carols at Kirstenbosch previously known as Carols by Candlelight has been running for more than twenty years This popular family event is organised by Kirstenbosch Rotary Club with sponsorship from PicknPay and Paul feels privileged to be able to use his business expertise in IT and event management to see that the Carols in the Gardens goes smoothly This year the concert will run from Thursday 18th December a discounted evening until 21st December The gates for the concert open at 5pm and the concert begins at 8pm Come early for a good spot on the lawn

SURVIVING THE CHRISTMAS SPENDItrsquos starting to look like Christmas The malls are a maze of merriment and ablaze with bright baubles and as retailers fall over each other to sell you the fallacious promise that possessions are more valuable than experiences we ndash the consumer ndash are left dazed confused and all-too-often indebted As the season of excess approaches letrsquos gift ourselves a moment to plan how to survive the season without entering 2015 debt-laden and depressed It all starts with going back to basics
THE MEANING OF CHRISTMASYou donrsquot need to be Christian to appreciate the broader meaning of this season For many South Africans December is a time to take leave spend meaningful moments with family and friends and unwind It is a period of rest and rejuvenation A time of reflection and repose A season of giving celebrating and breaking bread together as we feast on fellowship How this beautiful season became so horrendously hi-jacked by the retail industry is a topic for another discussion but the challenge this Christmas is for each and every one of us to rediscover the beauty of Christmas free from the pressure to out-purchase the Potgieters
DOING WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPYResearch into consumer behaviour is unanimous ndash as humans we derive more joy from experiences than we do from purchasing material possessions In fact some research has found that consumers derive three times more pleasure from the anticipation of the purchase than from the actual act of purchasing ndash not least because they are plagued by buyerrsquos remorse and gut-wrenching guilt So if spending time with loved ones makes us happy and spending too much money makes us sad how is it that so many of us opt for the latter to the detriment of the former
MONEY MATTERS
Back to Basics
By Sue Torr Director at Crue Consulting
IT DOESNT NEED TO BE A TIME OF EXCESSThe answer is quite probably that as consumers we so easily become victims of over-stimulating retail environments and marketing messages that lead us to desert our very own value systems We are tempted to accept that in this season of excessive eating drinking resting fun feasting and fellowship it is inevitably also a season of excessive spending And when everybody else is blowing their bonus on this seasonrsquos must-have gaming station the power of the herd mentality is prone to usurp logic The truth however is that December is no extraordinary month But for the extra bottles of bubbly and tender turkey the same set of fiscal commitments exist as in any other month ndash and January brings a whole new set of financial commitments which include potentially high cost items such as school uniforms school fees premium increases to name just a few
IT REALLY IS THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTSIn getting back to basics we hold within us the power to reclaim Christmas and breathe new life into old adages such as ldquoitrsquos the thought that countsrdquo Because it really is In returning to basics we provide ourselves the opportunity to teach our children the value of both time and money Whether we help our children plant herb pots spray-paint pine cones or sell home-made Christmas cakes we are gifted not only with precious experiences but with the opportunity to instruct our children in environmental care the benefits of recycling and the need to support local business
KEEP IT SIMPLEBefore we succumb to mall madness letrsquos rediscover the pleasure of Christmas in the simplest of things Letrsquos buy local visit craft markets and support small business Letrsquos fortify the art of recycling re-using and re-purposing goods for the benefit of all Letrsquos relieve each other of the pressure to spend compete and compare Letrsquos rediscover the satisfaction of small gifts given with great love because in the words of Winnie-the-Pooh ldquoSometimes the smallest things take up the most room in our heartsrdquo

In April this year three colleagues from the SKA Organisation in Manchester and I travelled to the Republic of Chile to visit the ALMA Radio Telescope ALMA stands for ldquoAtacama Large Millimetersubmillimeter Arrayrdquo It is composed of 66 high-precision antennas and is located on the Chajnantor plateau in Northern Chilersquos Atacama desert at an altitude of 5 000 metres The purpose of the trip was to learn as much as possible from the ALMA team Their experience regarding the integration and verification of such a large instrument will benefit the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) which is co-sited in the deserts of South Africa and Australia (see Muse Dec 2012Jan 2013)
THE CAPITAL ndash SANTIAGOWe arrived in Santiago the capital city of Chile after a ten-hour flight from Johannesburg to Sao Paulo and another four-and-a-half hour flight from Sao Paulo to Santiago With a population of nearly six million people Santiago is also the largest city in Chile Skyscrapers and unattractive apartment blocks cover the horizon but the city centre does have a peculiar
earthy charm ndash and many stray dogs The influence of the Roman Catholic Church is also evident with many beautiful churches decorated with exquisite ornaments and religious statues
SAN PEDRO DE ATACAMAFrom Santiago we flew to Calama in North-Eastern Chile followed by a one-hour bus ride to San Pedro de Atacama San Pedro de Atacama is a small town with only a few thousand inhabitants but it seemed to buzz with just as many tourists with one BampB located next to the other It is a charming town though and the hub for many tourists visiting the region I wished I had had more time to explore the surroundings and soon came to appreciate what brings so many tourists to the worldrsquos driest desert ndash Northern Chile has a majestic beauty that is different from any other place I have been to The mountains are gigantic dwarfing the Hottentots Holland mountains that we so admire when travelling towards Worcester from Cape Town Due to the mineral content of the soil (or so I have been told)
the mountains sometimes display shades of orange and purple and green adding to their grandeur And then there is the Licancabur Volcano which used to be a sacred place for the Inca Empire a place where the Incas would carry out religious ceremonies to worship the sun Laguna Chaxa a national reservation located at the heart of the Atacama salt pan is inhabited by three species of flamingos year-round Or you could join a ldquoTour Arqueologicordquo to learn more about the rich cultural inheritance The entire region soon reveals a mystique that is fascinating and makes you wish you could stay longer
THE THIN AIR AT ALMAThe ALMA Radio Telescope is equally impressive At an altitude of over 5 000 metres the relative lack of oxygen is a major concern apart from the extreme temperatures solar radiation and dry air I also experienced the unsettling feeling of having very little energy to perform any physical exercise feeling slightly light-headed and also developing a minor headache before returning to the
CHILE Deserts volcanoes earthquakes and more on the journey to see the ALMA Radio Telescope near San Pedro de Atacama - at an altitude where oxygen is scarce and UV radiation dangerously highBy Richard Lord
Ultraviolet radiation warning monitor at ALMA Operations Support Facility
Richard Lord in Santiago
Operations Support Facility (OSF) which is at a modest altitude of 2 440 metres But it was worth it A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to stand on top of the world and admire the human accomplishment of an international effort
THE IQUIQUE EARTHQUAKEThe cherry on the top of this extraordinary trip was my first-ever experience of an earthquake The 2014 Iquique earthquake
struck off the coast of Chile on 1 April with a moment magnitude of 82 It even triggered a tsunami of up to 211 metres that hit Iquique It wasnrsquot quite as dramatic at San Pedro de Atacama but nevertheless an unforgettable experience The earth was shaking for quite a long time maybe two minutes and even the locals said that it was the biggest earthquake they had witnessed for many years How perfect was the timing
of this trip The aftershocks during the next few days were equally exciting Except perhaps the aftershock that struck Santiago on my way back to South Africa Lying in my hotel bed on the 10th floor at midnight and suddenly hearing the entire building groan and squeak under the stresses of being shaken to and fro I had to admit that enough was enough and it was time to go home

FOOD FROM THE HEART
An offer for Muse readers ndash not to be missed
Recipe from Make five Maak vyfServes 8
The festive season is nearly upon us and has various connotations for everyone Some think of it as the time for giving some dream of snow-dusted streets warm crackling fires and mistletoe others think of twinkling lights and ribbons For me it is a season of sunshine swimming pools happy kids family meals and of coursehellip fresh berriesI believe that we eat with our eyes and nothing is more beautiful than these little gems from nature Strawberries cherries blackberries blueberries raspberries ndash all glowing with that rich colour Having berries around is the easiest way to make pretty food To make the most of the short berry season I add berries to many different meals Anything from a fruit salad at breakfast on crumpets as a quick snack added to
a refreshing drink and even a salad with chicken fish or pork I also add berries to quick desserts like vanilla ice cream and roasted nuts or to a crumble for added colour Then of course these sweet and juicy fruits seem to hold a special place on the South African festive table as the cherry on top of a light pavlovaThis pavlova from Make five is a little easier than most with a marshmallowy texture on the inside The combination of cregraveme fraicircche and Greek yoghurt is definitely a treat for this special time of year Although other fruit is just as delicious the berries add that beautiful festive colour and a refreshing break from a heavy pudding Sophia Loren said lsquoThe most indispensable ingredient of all good home cooking love for those you are cooking forrsquo Happy holidays and good cooking

BERRY PAVLOVA
Tis the season for berries
Tips1 Use any fruit such as figs pomegranate
seeds and grapes Seasonal fruit like nectarines are delicious with berries
2 When beating egg whites to stiff peaks use a stainless steel or glass mixing bowl not plastic The beaters and the bowl must be very clean and dry as a greasy residue will prevent the eggs from forming stiff peaks
3 Eggs that are kept at room temperature beat to a much higher volume than those from the fridge
4 Add the yolks to scrambled eggs or a fritatta

PROPERTY POINTERSNOMINEES amp POTENTIAL DOUBLE TRANSFER DUTY PENALTIESEvery now and then we come across a situation whereby the Purchaser is unsure whether he wants to put the property into his own name or someone elsersquos name and the Purchaser is identified in the Offer to Purchase in his own name or Nominee There is sometimes the mistaken impression that a Nominee can be nominated at any later stage This is incorrect Unless the Nominee is nominated and accepts the nomination in writing by midnight on the day that the offer is concluded (conclusion in terms of Section 16 of the Transfer Duty Act is the date on which the Seller accepts the offer) the transaction itself attracts double transfer dutyIn effect it means that SARS views this as two separate transactions

PNPS AWARDED ASHOKA ACCREDITATIONAS A CHANGEMAKER SCHOOL
Dec 2014 Jan 2015 | the muse | 6
Principal of PNPS Ann Morton describes the schools journey to becoming nominated as an Ashoka Changemaker School Earlier this year a grade 3 parent emailed me to ask if she could nominate our school to get Ashoka accreditation as a lsquochangemaker schoolrsquo This organization seeks to create and encourage world change through the development of core skills like teamwork empathy creativity and leadership This email started us on a long and gruelling process as we had to fill in a 27 page questionnaire have 3 lsquofellowsrsquo spend the day with us at school and then finally 4 of our staff were interviewed This resulted in our school being chosen as an
Ashoka Changemaker School one of only 4 in South Africa so far We join 100 schools internationally who have this status 43 schools in South Africa were nominated14 schools visited and 7 schools were interviewed Finally 4 were chosen
Congratulations to all who have created a school who encompasses creativity empathy leadership and teamwork
WHAT IS ASHOKA Ashoka believes that in our fast changing world we need a critical set of skills including empathy and team work in leadership and changemaking to solve complex social problems and be successful in the world PNPS is known as an
inclusive school which resonates with the theme Everyone a Changemaker World where each person regardless of age or background can play a part in shaping the future of the world with confidence skills and support to drive the change The name Ashoka is after an Indian leader who in the 3rd century BC renounced violence and dedicated his life to social welfare and economic development ndash his creativity global mindedness and tolerance are an early example of social innovation See wwwashokaorg

THE DIVIDED HOUSEHOLD
YOUR LIFE AND YOUR CHILDS LIFEOne thing that is happening more and more in our modern day world is the increase of children who are being raised by separated parents especially noticeable when the Christmas holidays come aroundThe most important thing to remember is that no matter how the two parents have separated ndash more often than not with bad feelings ndash that there is only one person who pays the real price and that is the child Parents need to own that no matter which parent has decided to move on both need to deal with it Each parent should sit down and make a list as to what they wish their new life to be like and a separate list for what they would like for their childrenWhen their parents split up children take the blame squarely on their shoulders and will internalise that if they had done lsquoXrsquo in a different way then their parents would still be together It is heart-breaking when parents place their own personal issues before that of the child
INPUT FROM BOTH PARENTSContact with both parents is crucial to the development of the child and once they grow up and mature you will be proud that you have a clean slate and your child will continue to have a good relationship with you If however you have kept the child away from the other spouse then they will harbour ill feelings towards you
COMMON GROUND TO PROVIDE STABILITYA child needs both parents they have not divorced either of them Each parent needs to develop their new set of rules for the home and accept that the other spouse now in their new abode may have completely different rules There also needs to be common ground where the child still continues with the same values
in both homes The child needs to be with each parent 50 of the time if possible as both parents are still the childrsquos parents
INFORM THE SCHOOLWith regard to school each parent needs to inform their childrsquos school and they need to receive all emails or communication from the school so that they are informed as to what is happening in their childrsquos life When money needs to be given to the school for outings etc the parents need to take ownership and balance what is needed so that the child does not feel the effects of the financial battle that may be going on between their parents Financial matters of any sort are for the adults to deal with and not for the children to worry about
HOW TO SHARE CHRISTMASEven more important with Christmas around the corner is to ensure that the child spends quality time with each parent where possible One year they can wake up with Mum and the next with Dad One needs to learn not to be selfish ndash remember it is not for you but for your child If they spend the lsquowaking uprsquo time with you then lunch could possibly be spent with the other parent if both parents live in the same town As long as both parents are positive and create a good working relationship your child will develop knowing a true sense of self and what relationships are all about Children learn from our behaviour and when they are older will re-enact what we have done
TWO LOVING HOMESBut it is not all doom and gloom If you sit down and work through this process without the emotions you will have a positive child who will flourish even though they have parents in different homes And when the time comes they will be able to say that it was better to have two loving homes than one constant battlefield
THE CHALLENGEAnd so I challenge all divorced or separated parents to share be reasonable and let your child remember this Christmas as one of the best thus far

PHAMBILI COMMUNITY PROJECTSPhambili is a non-profit organisation that grew out of Pinelands Methodist Church in response to fires in Langa in 2000 Since then many Pinelanders have been and still are involved in its projects and management We currently run three projects that aim to engage with the needs of the surrounding communities a job-readiness course that equips those searching for work with skills to be able to do so effectively (Zanokhanyo) a volunteer programme at Mokone Primary School in Langa (Umthombo) and Phambili Print amp Design which offers high quality digital and litho printing for businesses and individuals as a means of raising funds for the other projects
PHAMBILI AS A VEHICLEFOR COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENTMany people care for the needs of the suburbs surrounding Pinelands (and the people that subsequently enter Pinelands) but often donrsquot know how to
engage with them Phambili ngeThemba is dedicated to seeing transformation come to the informal area of Langa and the greater Cape Town region We aim to do this by enriching vibrant communities economically educationally and spiritually encouraging them to contribute to the future with dignity and respectThe hope is that Phambili might have the opportunity to share their experiences of working with people in need over the years and the stories of hope of people they have come into contact with so that they can be an uplifting influence to others
A HEARTWARMING STORYOF UPLIFTMENT BY PHAMBILIAfter completing the Zanokhanyo Job Readiness Course Yolanda Mtakatya found work at a local documenting company Starting as a Preparation Clerk she was promoted after only three months to the position of Quality Check Team Leader By the end of the year she had made her mark and received an award for being the Team Leader of the Year Getting promoted was not the only exciting thing that happened to this young mother ndash she also got married When asked how she manages to do so well in her job she said that Zanokhanyo helped build her confidence and perseverance and taught her valuable interviewing skills and the importance of punctuality She also emphasized that prayer played a big role in all of her achievements saying that she has never stopped praying

SURVIVING THE CHRISTMAS SPENDItrsquos starting to look like Christmas The malls are a maze of merriment and ablaze with bright baubles and as retailers fall over each other to sell you the fallacious promise that possessions are more valuable than experiences we ndash the consumer ndash are left dazed confused and all-too-often indebted As the season of excess approaches letrsquos gift ourselves a moment to plan how to survive the season without entering 2015 debt-laden and depressed It all starts with going back to basics
THE MEANING OF CHRISTMASYou donrsquot need to be Christian to appreciate the broader meaning of this season For many South Africans December is a time to take leave spend meaningful moments with family and friends and unwind It is a period of rest and rejuvenation A time of reflection and repose A season of giving celebrating and breaking bread together as we feast on fellowship How this beautiful season became so horrendously hi-jacked by the retail industry is a topic for another discussion but the challenge this Christmas is for each and every one of us to rediscover the beauty of Christmas free from the pressure to out-purchase the Potgieters
DOING WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPYResearch into consumer behaviour is unanimous ndash as humans we derive more joy from experiences than we do from purchasing material possessions In fact some research has found that consumers derive three times more pleasure from the anticipation of the purchase than from the actual act of purchasing ndash not least because they are plagued by buyerrsquos remorse and gut-wrenching guilt So if spending time with loved ones makes us happy and spending too much money makes us sad how is it that so many of us opt for the latter to the detriment of the former
MONEY MATTERS
Back to Basics
By Sue Torr Director at Crue Consulting
IT DOESNT NEED TO BE A TIME OF EXCESSThe answer is quite probably that as consumers we so easily become victims of over-stimulating retail environments and marketing messages that lead us to desert our very own value systems We are tempted to accept that in this season of excessive eating drinking resting fun feasting and fellowship it is inevitably also a season of excessive spending And when everybody else is blowing their bonus on this seasonrsquos must-have gaming station the power of the herd mentality is prone to usurp logic The truth however is that December is no extraordinary month But for the extra bottles of bubbly and tender turkey the same set of fiscal commitments exist as in any other month ndash and January brings a whole new set of financial commitments which include potentially high cost items such as school uniforms school fees premium increases to name just a few
IT REALLY IS THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTSIn getting back to basics we hold within us the power to reclaim Christmas and breathe new life into old adages such as ldquoitrsquos the thought that countsrdquo Because it really is In returning to basics we provide ourselves the opportunity to teach our children the value of both time and money Whether we help our children plant herb pots spray-paint pine cones or sell home-made Christmas cakes we are gifted not only with precious experiences but with the opportunity to instruct our children in environmental care the benefits of recycling and the need to support local business
KEEP IT SIMPLEBefore we succumb to mall madness letrsquos rediscover the pleasure of Christmas in the simplest of things Letrsquos buy local visit craft markets and support small business Letrsquos fortify the art of recycling re-using and re-purposing goods for the benefit of all Letrsquos relieve each other of the pressure to spend compete and compare Letrsquos rediscover the satisfaction of small gifts given with great love because in the words of Winnie-the-Pooh ldquoSometimes the smallest things take up the most room in our heartsrdquo
The second best

PINELANDERS
In April this year three colleagues from the SKA Organisation in Manchester and I travelled to the Republic of Chile to visit the ALMA Radio Telescope ALMA stands for ldquoAtacama Large Millimetersubmillimeter Arrayrdquo It is composed of 66 high-precision antennas and is located on the Chajnantor plateau in Northern Chilersquos Atacama desert at an altitude of 5 000 metres The purpose of the trip was to learn as much as possible from the ALMA team Their experience regarding the integration and verification of such a large instrument will benefit the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) which is co-sited in the deserts of South Africa and Australia (see Muse Dec 2012Jan 2013)
THE CAPITAL ndash SANTIAGOWe arrived in Santiago the capital city of Chile after a ten-hour flight from Johannesburg to Sao Paulo and another four-and-a-half hour flight from Sao Paulo to Santiago With a population of nearly six million people Santiago is also the largest city in Chile Skyscrapers and unattractive apartment blocks cover the horizon but the city centre does have a peculiar
earthy charm ndash and many stray dogs The influence of the Roman Catholic Church is also evident with many beautiful churches decorated with exquisite ornaments and religious statues
SAN PEDRO DE ATACAMAFrom Santiago we flew to Calama in North-Eastern Chile followed by a one-hour bus ride to San Pedro de Atacama San Pedro de Atacama is a small town with only a few thousand inhabitants but it seemed to buzz with just as many tourists with one BampB located next to the other It is a charming town though and the hub for many tourists visiting the region I wished I had had more time to explore the surroundings and soon came to appreciate what brings so many tourists to the worldrsquos driest desert ndash Northern Chile has a majestic beauty that is different from any other place I have been to The mountains are gigantic dwarfing the Hottentots Holland mountains that we so admire when travelling towards Worcester from Cape Town Due to the mineral content of the soil (or so I have been told)
the mountains sometimes display shades of orange and purple and green adding to their grandeur And then there is the Licancabur Volcano which used to be a sacred place for the Inca Empire a place where the Incas would carry out religious ceremonies to worship the sun Laguna Chaxa a national reservation located at the heart of the Atacama salt pan is inhabited by three species of flamingos year-round Or you could join a ldquoTour Arqueologicordquo to learn more about the rich cultural inheritance The entire region soon reveals a mystique that is fascinating and makes you wish you could stay longer
THE THIN AIR AT ALMAThe ALMA Radio Telescope is equally impressive At an altitude of over 5 000 metres the relative lack of oxygen is a major concern apart from the extreme temperatures solar radiation and dry air I also experienced the unsettling feeling of having very little energy to perform any physical exercise feeling slightly light-headed and also developing a minor headache before returning to the
CHILE Deserts volcanoes earthquakes and more on the journey to see the ALMA Radio Telescope near San Pedro de Atacama - at an altitude where oxygen is scarce and UV radiation dangerously highBy Richard Lord
Ultraviolet radiation warning monitor at ALMA Operations Support Facility
Richard Lord in Santiago
Operations Support Facility (OSF) which is at a modest altitude of 2 440 metres But it was worth it A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to stand on top of the world and admire the human accomplishment of an international effort
THE IQUIQUE EARTHQUAKEThe cherry on the top of this extraordinary trip was my first-ever experience of an earthquake The 2014 Iquique earthquake
struck off the coast of Chile on 1 April with a moment magnitude of 82 It even triggered a tsunami of up to 211 metres that hit Iquique It wasnrsquot quite as dramatic at San Pedro de Atacama but nevertheless an unforgettable experience The earth was shaking for quite a long time maybe two minutes and even the locals said that it was the biggest earthquake they had witnessed for many years How perfect was the timing
of this trip The aftershocks during the next few days were equally exciting Except perhaps the aftershock that struck Santiago on my way back to South Africa Lying in my hotel bed on the 10th floor at midnight and suddenly hearing the entire building groan and squeak under the stresses of being shaken to and fro I had to admit that enough was enough and it was time to go home

FOOD FROM THE HEART
An offer for Muse readers ndash not to be missed
Recipe from Make five Maak vyfServes 8
The festive season is nearly upon us and has various connotations for everyone Some think of it as the time for giving some dream of snow-dusted streets warm crackling fires and mistletoe others think of twinkling lights and ribbons For me it is a season of sunshine swimming pools happy kids family meals and of coursehellip fresh berriesI believe that we eat with our eyes and nothing is more beautiful than these little gems from nature Strawberries cherries blackberries blueberries raspberries ndash all glowing with that rich colour Having berries around is the easiest way to make pretty food To make the most of the short berry season I add berries to many different meals Anything from a fruit salad at breakfast on crumpets as a quick snack added to
a refreshing drink and even a salad with chicken fish or pork I also add berries to quick desserts like vanilla ice cream and roasted nuts or to a crumble for added colour Then of course these sweet and juicy fruits seem to hold a special place on the South African festive table as the cherry on top of a light pavlovaThis pavlova from Make five is a little easier than most with a marshmallowy texture on the inside The combination of cregraveme fraicircche and Greek yoghurt is definitely a treat for this special time of year Although other fruit is just as delicious the berries add that beautiful festive colour and a refreshing break from a heavy pudding Sophia Loren said lsquoThe most indispensable ingredient of all good home cooking love for those you are cooking forrsquo Happy holidays and good cooking

BERRY PAVLOVA
Tis the season for berries
Tips1 Use any fruit such as figs pomegranate
seeds and grapes Seasonal fruit like nectarines are delicious with berries
2 When beating egg whites to stiff peaks use a stainless steel or glass mixing bowl not plastic The beaters and the bowl must be very clean and dry as a greasy residue will prevent the eggs from forming stiff peaks
3 Eggs that are kept at room temperature beat to a much higher volume than those from the fridge
4 Add the yolks to scrambled eggs or a fritatta

Dec 2014 Jan 2015 | the muse | 6

Ashoka Changemaker School one of only 4 in South Africa so far We join 100 schools internationally who have this status 43 schools in South Africa were nominated14 schools visited and 7 schools were interviewed Finally 4 were chosen
Congratulations to all who have created a school who encompasses creativity empathy leadership and teamwork
WHAT IS ASHOKA Ashoka believes that in our fast changing world we need a critical set of skills including empathy and team work in leadership and changemaking to solve complex social problems and be successful in the world PNPS is known as an
inclusive school which resonates with the theme Everyone a Changemaker World where each person regardless of age or background can play a part in shaping the future of the world with confidence skills and support to drive the change The name Ashoka is after an Indian leader who in the 3rd century BC renounced violence and dedicated his life to social welfare and economic development ndash his creativity global mindedness and tolerance are an early example of social innovation See wwwashokaorg

THE DIVIDED HOUSEHOLD
YOUR LIFE AND YOUR CHILDS LIFEOne thing that is happening more and more in our modern day world is the increase of children who are being raised by separated parents especially noticeable when the Christmas holidays come aroundThe most important thing to remember is that no matter how the two parents have separated ndash more often than not with bad feelings ndash that there is only one person who pays the real price and that is the child Parents need to own that no matter which parent has decided to move on both need to deal with it Each parent should sit down and make a list as to what they wish their new life to be like and a separate list for what they would like for their childrenWhen their parents split up children take the blame squarely on their shoulders and will internalise that if they had done lsquoXrsquo in a different way then their parents would still be together It is heart-breaking when parents place their own personal issues before that of the child
INPUT FROM BOTH PARENTSContact with both parents is crucial to the development of the child and once they grow up and mature you will be proud that you have a clean slate and your child will continue to have a good relationship with you If however you have kept the child away from the other spouse then they will harbour ill feelings towards you
COMMON GROUND TO PROVIDE STABILITYA child needs both parents they have not divorced either of them Each parent needs to develop their new set of rules for the home and accept that the other spouse now in their new abode may have completely different rules There also needs to be common ground where the child still continues with the same values
in both homes The child needs to be with each parent 50 of the time if possible as both parents are still the childrsquos parents
INFORM THE SCHOOLWith regard to school each parent needs to inform their childrsquos school and they need to receive all emails or communication from the school so that they are informed as to what is happening in their childrsquos life When money needs to be given to the school for outings etc the parents need to take ownership and balance what is needed so that the child does not feel the effects of the financial battle that may be going on between their parents Financial matters of any sort are for the adults to deal with and not for the children to worry about
HOW TO SHARE CHRISTMASEven more important with Christmas around the corner is to ensure that the child spends quality time with each parent where possible One year they can wake up with Mum and the next with Dad One needs to learn not to be selfish ndash remember it is not for you but for your child If they spend the lsquowaking uprsquo time with you then lunch could possibly be spent with the other parent if both parents live in the same town As long as both parents are positive and create a good working relationship your child will develop knowing a true sense of self and what relationships are all about Children learn from our behaviour and when they are older will re-enact what we have done
TWO LOVING HOMESBut it is not all doom and gloom If you sit down and work through this process without the emotions you will have a positive child who will flourish even though they have parents in different homes And when the time comes they will be able to say that it was better to have two loving homes than one constant battlefield
THE CHALLENGEAnd so I challenge all divorced or separated parents to share be reasonable and let your child remember this Christmas as one of the best thus far

PHAMBILI COMMUNITY PROJECTSPhambili is a non-profit organisation that grew out of Pinelands Methodist Church in response to fires in Langa in 2000 Since then many Pinelanders have been and still are involved in its projects and management We currently run three projects that aim to engage with the needs of the surrounding communities a job-readiness course that equips those searching for work with skills to be able to do so effectively (Zanokhanyo) a volunteer programme at Mokone Primary School in Langa (Umthombo) and Phambili Print amp Design which offers high quality digital and litho printing for businesses and individuals as a means of raising funds for the other projects
PHAMBILI AS A VEHICLEFOR COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENTMany people care for the needs of the suburbs surrounding Pinelands (and the people that subsequently enter Pinelands) but often donrsquot know how to
engage with them Phambili ngeThemba is dedicated to seeing transformation come to the informal area of Langa and the greater Cape Town region We aim to do this by enriching vibrant communities economically educationally and spiritually encouraging them to contribute to the future with dignity and respectThe hope is that Phambili might have the opportunity to share their experiences of working with people in need over the years and the stories of hope of people they have come into contact with so that they can be an uplifting influence to others
A HEARTWARMING STORYOF UPLIFTMENT BY PHAMBILIAfter completing the Zanokhanyo Job Readiness Course Yolanda Mtakatya found work at a local documenting company Starting as a Preparation Clerk she was promoted after only three months to the position of Quality Check Team Leader By the end of the year she had made her mark and received an award for being the Team Leader of the Year Getting promoted was not the only exciting thing that happened to this young mother ndash she also got married When asked how she manages to do so well in her job she said that Zanokhanyo helped build her confidence and perseverance and taught her valuable interviewing skills and the importance of punctuality She also emphasized that prayer played a big role in all of her achievements saying that she has never stopped praying

SURVIVING THE CHRISTMAS SPENDItrsquos starting to look like Christmas The malls are a maze of merriment and ablaze with bright baubles and as retailers fall over each other to sell you the fallacious promise that possessions are more valuable than experiences we ndash the consumer ndash are left dazed confused and all-too-often indebted As the season of excess approaches letrsquos gift ourselves a moment to plan how to survive the season without entering 2015 debt-laden and depressed It all starts with going back to basics
THE MEANING OF CHRISTMASYou donrsquot need to be Christian to appreciate the broader meaning of this season For many South Africans December is a time to take leave spend meaningful moments with family and friends and unwind It is a period of rest and rejuvenation A time of reflection and repose A season of giving celebrating and breaking bread together as we feast on fellowship How this beautiful season became so horrendously hi-jacked by the retail industry is a topic for another discussion but the challenge this Christmas is for each and every one of us to rediscover the beauty of Christmas free from the pressure to out-purchase the Potgieters
DOING WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPYResearch into consumer behaviour is unanimous ndash as humans we derive more joy from experiences than we do from purchasing material possessions In fact some research has found that consumers derive three times more pleasure from the anticipation of the purchase than from the actual act of purchasing ndash not least because they are plagued by buyerrsquos remorse and gut-wrenching guilt So if spending time with loved ones makes us happy and spending too much money makes us sad how is it that so many of us opt for the latter to the detriment of the former
MONEY MATTERS
Back to Basics
By Sue Torr Director at Crue Consulting
IT DOESNT NEED TO BE A TIME OF EXCESSThe answer is quite probably that as consumers we so easily become victims of over-stimulating retail environments and marketing messages that lead us to desert our very own value systems We are tempted to accept that in this season of excessive eating drinking resting fun feasting and fellowship it is inevitably also a season of excessive spending And when everybody else is blowing their bonus on this seasonrsquos must-have gaming station the power of the herd mentality is prone to usurp logic The truth however is that December is no extraordinary month But for the extra bottles of bubbly and tender turkey the same set of fiscal commitments exist as in any other month ndash and January brings a whole new set of financial commitments which include potentially high cost items such as school uniforms school fees premium increases to name just a few
IT REALLY IS THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTSIn getting back to basics we hold within us the power to reclaim Christmas and breathe new life into old adages such as ldquoitrsquos the thought that countsrdquo Because it really is In returning to basics we provide ourselves the opportunity to teach our children the value of both time and money Whether we help our children plant herb pots spray-paint pine cones or sell home-made Christmas cakes we are gifted not only with precious experiences but with the opportunity to instruct our children in environmental care the benefits of recycling and the need to support local business
KEEP IT SIMPLEBefore we succumb to mall madness letrsquos rediscover the pleasure of Christmas in the simplest of things Letrsquos buy local visit craft markets and support small business Letrsquos fortify the art of recycling re-using and re-purposing goods for the benefit of all Letrsquos relieve each other of the pressure to spend compete and compare Letrsquos rediscover the satisfaction of small gifts given with great love because in the words of Winnie-the-Pooh ldquoSometimes the smallest things take up the most room in our heartsrdquo
The second best

PINELANDERS
In April this year three colleagues from the SKA Organisation in Manchester and I travelled to the Republic of Chile to visit the ALMA Radio Telescope ALMA stands for ldquoAtacama Large Millimetersubmillimeter Arrayrdquo It is composed of 66 high-precision antennas and is located on the Chajnantor plateau in Northern Chilersquos Atacama desert at an altitude of 5 000 metres The purpose of the trip was to learn as much as possible from the ALMA team Their experience regarding the integration and verification of such a large instrument will benefit the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) which is co-sited in the deserts of South Africa and Australia (see Muse Dec 2012Jan 2013)
THE CAPITAL ndash SANTIAGOWe arrived in Santiago the capital city of Chile after a ten-hour flight from Johannesburg to Sao Paulo and another four-and-a-half hour flight from Sao Paulo to Santiago With a population of nearly six million people Santiago is also the largest city in Chile Skyscrapers and unattractive apartment blocks cover the horizon but the city centre does have a peculiar
earthy charm ndash and many stray dogs The influence of the Roman Catholic Church is also evident with many beautiful churches decorated with exquisite ornaments and religious statues
SAN PEDRO DE ATACAMAFrom Santiago we flew to Calama in North-Eastern Chile followed by a one-hour bus ride to San Pedro de Atacama San Pedro de Atacama is a small town with only a few thousand inhabitants but it seemed to buzz with just as many tourists with one BampB located next to the other It is a charming town though and the hub for many tourists visiting the region I wished I had had more time to explore the surroundings and soon came to appreciate what brings so many tourists to the worldrsquos driest desert ndash Northern Chile has a majestic beauty that is different from any other place I have been to The mountains are gigantic dwarfing the Hottentots Holland mountains that we so admire when travelling towards Worcester from Cape Town Due to the mineral content of the soil (or so I have been told)
the mountains sometimes display shades of orange and purple and green adding to their grandeur And then there is the Licancabur Volcano which used to be a sacred place for the Inca Empire a place where the Incas would carry out religious ceremonies to worship the sun Laguna Chaxa a national reservation located at the heart of the Atacama salt pan is inhabited by three species of flamingos year-round Or you could join a ldquoTour Arqueologicordquo to learn more about the rich cultural inheritance The entire region soon reveals a mystique that is fascinating and makes you wish you could stay longer
THE THIN AIR AT ALMAThe ALMA Radio Telescope is equally impressive At an altitude of over 5 000 metres the relative lack of oxygen is a major concern apart from the extreme temperatures solar radiation and dry air I also experienced the unsettling feeling of having very little energy to perform any physical exercise feeling slightly light-headed and also developing a minor headache before returning to the
CHILE Deserts volcanoes earthquakes and more on the journey to see the ALMA Radio Telescope near San Pedro de Atacama - at an altitude where oxygen is scarce and UV radiation dangerously highBy Richard Lord
Ultraviolet radiation warning monitor at ALMA Operations Support Facility
Richard Lord in Santiago
Operations Support Facility (OSF) which is at a modest altitude of 2 440 metres But it was worth it A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to stand on top of the world and admire the human accomplishment of an international effort
THE IQUIQUE EARTHQUAKEThe cherry on the top of this extraordinary trip was my first-ever experience of an earthquake The 2014 Iquique earthquake
struck off the coast of Chile on 1 April with a moment magnitude of 82 It even triggered a tsunami of up to 211 metres that hit Iquique It wasnrsquot quite as dramatic at San Pedro de Atacama but nevertheless an unforgettable experience The earth was shaking for quite a long time maybe two minutes and even the locals said that it was the biggest earthquake they had witnessed for many years How perfect was the timing
of this trip The aftershocks during the next few days were equally exciting Except perhaps the aftershock that struck Santiago on my way back to South Africa Lying in my hotel bed on the 10th floor at midnight and suddenly hearing the entire building groan and squeak under the stresses of being shaken to and fro I had to admit that enough was enough and it was time to go home

FOOD FROM THE HEART

Recipe from Make five Maak vyfServes 8
The festive season is nearly upon us and has various connotations for everyone Some think of it as the time for giving some dream of snow-dusted streets warm crackling fires and mistletoe others think of twinkling lights and ribbons For me it is a season of sunshine swimming pools happy kids family meals and of coursehellip fresh berriesI believe that we eat with our eyes and nothing is more beautiful than these little gems from nature Strawberries cherries blackberries blueberries raspberries ndash all glowing with that rich colour Having berries around is the easiest way to make pretty food To make the most of the short berry season I add berries to many different meals Anything from a fruit salad at breakfast on crumpets as a quick snack added to
a refreshing drink and even a salad with chicken fish or pork I also add berries to quick desserts like vanilla ice cream and roasted nuts or to a crumble for added colour Then of course these sweet and juicy fruits seem to hold a special place on the South African festive table as the cherry on top of a light pavlovaThis pavlova from Make five is a little easier than most with a marshmallowy texture on the inside The combination of cregraveme fraicircche and Greek yoghurt is definitely a treat for this special time of year Although other fruit is just as delicious the berries add that beautiful festive colour and a refreshing break from a heavy pudding Sophia Loren said lsquoThe most indispensable ingredient of all good home cooking love for those you are cooking forrsquo Happy holidays and good cooking

BERRY PAVLOVA
Tis the season for berries
Tips1 Use any fruit such as figs pomegranate
seeds and grapes Seasonal fruit like nectarines are delicious with berries
2 When beating egg whites to stiff peaks use a stainless steel or glass mixing bowl not plastic The beaters and the bowl must be very clean and dry as a greasy residue will prevent the eggs from forming stiff peaks

THE DIVIDED HOUSEHOLD
YOUR LIFE AND YOUR CHILDS LIFEOne thing that is happening more and more in our modern day world is the increase of children who are being raised by separated parents especially noticeable when the Christmas holidays come aroundThe most important thing to remember is that no matter how the two parents have separated ndash more often than not with bad feelings ndash that there is only one person who pays the real price and that is the child Parents need to own that no matter which parent has decided to move on both need to deal with it Each parent should sit down and make a list as to what they wish their new life to be like and a separate list for what they would like for their childrenWhen their parents split up children take the blame squarely on their shoulders and will internalise that if they had done lsquoXrsquo in a different way then their parents would still be together It is heart-breaking when parents place their own personal issues before that of the child
INPUT FROM BOTH PARENTSContact with both parents is crucial to the development of the child and once they grow up and mature you will be proud that you have a clean slate and your child will continue to have a good relationship with you If however you have kept the child away from the other spouse then they will harbour ill feelings towards you
COMMON GROUND TO PROVIDE STABILITYA child needs both parents they have not divorced either of them Each parent needs to develop their new set of rules for the home and accept that the other spouse now in their new abode may have completely different rules There also needs to be common ground where the child still continues with the same values
in both homes The child needs to be with each parent 50 of the time if possible as both parents are still the childrsquos parents
INFORM THE SCHOOLWith regard to school each parent needs to inform their childrsquos school and they need to receive all emails or communication from the school so that they are informed as to what is happening in their childrsquos life When money needs to be given to the school for outings etc the parents need to take ownership and balance what is needed so that the child does not feel the effects of the financial battle that may be going on between their parents Financial matters of any sort are for the adults to deal with and not for the children to worry about
HOW TO SHARE CHRISTMASEven more important with Christmas around the corner is to ensure that the child spends quality time with each parent where possible One year they can wake up with Mum and the next with Dad One needs to learn not to be selfish ndash remember it is not for you but for your child If they spend the lsquowaking uprsquo time with you then lunch could possibly be spent with the other parent if both parents live in the same town As long as both parents are positive and create a good working relationship your child will develop knowing a true sense of self and what relationships are all about Children learn from our behaviour and when they are older will re-enact what we have done
TWO LOVING HOMESBut it is not all doom and gloom If you sit down and work through this process without the emotions you will have a positive child who will flourish even though they have parents in different homes And when the time comes they will be able to say that it was better to have two loving homes than one constant battlefield
THE CHALLENGEAnd so I challenge all divorced or separated parents to share be reasonable and let your child remember this Christmas as one of the best thus far

PHAMBILI COMMUNITY PROJECTSPhambili is a non-profit organisation that grew out of Pinelands Methodist Church in response to fires in Langa in 2000 Since then many Pinelanders have been and still are involved in its projects and management We currently run three projects that aim to engage with the needs of the surrounding communities a job-readiness course that equips those searching for work with skills to be able to do so effectively (Zanokhanyo) a volunteer programme at Mokone Primary School in Langa (Umthombo) and Phambili Print amp Design which offers high quality digital and litho printing for businesses and individuals as a means of raising funds for the other projects
PHAMBILI AS A VEHICLEFOR COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENTMany people care for the needs of the suburbs surrounding Pinelands (and the people that subsequently enter Pinelands) but often donrsquot know how to
engage with them Phambili ngeThemba is dedicated to seeing transformation come to the informal area of Langa and the greater Cape Town region We aim to do this by enriching vibrant communities economically educationally and spiritually encouraging them to contribute to the future with dignity and respectThe hope is that Phambili might have the opportunity to share their experiences of working with people in need over the years and the stories of hope of people they have come into contact with so that they can be an uplifting influence to others
A HEARTWARMING STORYOF UPLIFTMENT BY PHAMBILIAfter completing the Zanokhanyo Job Readiness Course Yolanda Mtakatya found work at a local documenting company Starting as a Preparation Clerk she was promoted after only three months to the position of Quality Check Team Leader By the end of the year she had made her mark and received an award for being the Team Leader of the Year Getting promoted was not the only exciting thing that happened to this young mother ndash she also got married When asked how she manages to do so well in her job she said that Zanokhanyo helped build her confidence and perseverance and taught her valuable interviewing skills and the importance of punctuality She also emphasized that prayer played a big role in all of her achievements saying that she has never stopped praying

SURVIVING THE CHRISTMAS SPENDItrsquos starting to look like Christmas The malls are a maze of merriment and ablaze with bright baubles and as retailers fall over each other to sell you the fallacious promise that possessions are more valuable than experiences we ndash the consumer ndash are left dazed confused and all-too-often indebted As the season of excess approaches letrsquos gift ourselves a moment to plan how to survive the season without entering 2015 debt-laden and depressed It all starts with going back to basics
THE MEANING OF CHRISTMASYou donrsquot need to be Christian to appreciate the broader meaning of this season For many South Africans December is a time to take leave spend meaningful moments with family and friends and unwind It is a period of rest and rejuvenation A time of reflection and repose A season of giving celebrating and breaking bread together as we feast on fellowship How this beautiful season became so horrendously hi-jacked by the retail industry is a topic for another discussion but the challenge this Christmas is for each and every one of us to rediscover the beauty of Christmas free from the pressure to out-purchase the Potgieters
DOING WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPYResearch into consumer behaviour is unanimous ndash as humans we derive more joy from experiences than we do from purchasing material possessions In fact some research has found that consumers derive three times more pleasure from the anticipation of the purchase than from the actual act of purchasing ndash not least because they are plagued by buyerrsquos remorse and gut-wrenching guilt So if spending time with loved ones makes us happy and spending too much money makes us sad how is it that so many of us opt for the latter to the detriment of the former
MONEY MATTERS
Back to Basics
By Sue Torr Director at Crue Consulting
IT DOESNT NEED TO BE A TIME OF EXCESSThe answer is quite probably that as consumers we so easily become victims of over-stimulating retail environments and marketing messages that lead us to desert our very own value systems We are tempted to accept that in this season of excessive eating drinking resting fun feasting and fellowship it is inevitably also a season of excessive spending And when everybody else is blowing their bonus on this seasonrsquos must-have gaming station the power of the herd mentality is prone to usurp logic The truth however is that December is no extraordinary month But for the extra bottles of bubbly and tender turkey the same set of fiscal commitments exist as in any other month ndash and January brings a whole new set of financial commitments which include potentially high cost items such as school uniforms school fees premium increases to name just a few
IT REALLY IS THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTSIn getting back to basics we hold within us the power to reclaim Christmas and breathe new life into old adages such as ldquoitrsquos the thought that countsrdquo Because it really is In returning to basics we provide ourselves the opportunity to teach our children the value of both time and money Whether we help our children plant herb pots spray-paint pine cones or sell home-made Christmas cakes we are gifted not only with precious experiences but with the opportunity to instruct our children in environmental care the benefits of recycling and the need to support local business
KEEP IT SIMPLEBefore we succumb to mall madness letrsquos rediscover the pleasure of Christmas in the simplest of things Letrsquos buy local visit craft markets and support small business Letrsquos fortify the art of recycling re-using and re-purposing goods for the benefit of all Letrsquos relieve each other of the pressure to spend compete and compare Letrsquos rediscover the satisfaction of small gifts given with great love because in the words of Winnie-the-Pooh ldquoSometimes the smallest things take up the most room in our heartsrdquo
The second best

PINELANDERS
In April this year three colleagues from the SKA Organisation in Manchester and I travelled to the Republic of Chile to visit the ALMA Radio Telescope ALMA stands for ldquoAtacama Large Millimetersubmillimeter Arrayrdquo It is composed of 66 high-precision antennas and is located on the Chajnantor plateau in Northern Chilersquos Atacama desert at an altitude of 5 000 metres The purpose of the trip was to learn as much as possible from the ALMA team Their experience regarding the integration and verification of such a large instrument will benefit the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) which is co-sited in the deserts of South Africa and Australia (see Muse Dec 2012Jan 2013)
THE CAPITAL ndash SANTIAGOWe arrived in Santiago the capital city of Chile after a ten-hour flight from Johannesburg to Sao Paulo and another four-and-a-half hour flight from Sao Paulo to Santiago With a population of nearly six million people Santiago is also the largest city in Chile Skyscrapers and unattractive apartment blocks cover the horizon but the city centre does have a peculiar
earthy charm ndash and many stray dogs The influence of the Roman Catholic Church is also evident with many beautiful churches decorated with exquisite ornaments and religious statues
SAN PEDRO DE ATACAMAFrom Santiago we flew to Calama in North-Eastern Chile followed by a one-hour bus ride to San Pedro de Atacama San Pedro de Atacama is a small town with only a few thousand inhabitants but it seemed to buzz with just as many tourists with one BampB located next to the other It is a charming town though and the hub for many tourists visiting the region I wished I had had more time to explore the surroundings and soon came to appreciate what brings so many tourists to the worldrsquos driest desert ndash Northern Chile has a majestic beauty that is different from any other place I have been to The mountains are gigantic dwarfing the Hottentots Holland mountains that we so admire when travelling towards Worcester from Cape Town Due to the mineral content of the soil (or so I have been told)
the mountains sometimes display shades of orange and purple and green adding to their grandeur And then there is the Licancabur Volcano which used to be a sacred place for the Inca Empire a place where the Incas would carry out religious ceremonies to worship the sun Laguna Chaxa a national reservation located at the heart of the Atacama salt pan is inhabited by three species of flamingos year-round Or you could join a ldquoTour Arqueologicordquo to learn more about the rich cultural inheritance The entire region soon reveals a mystique that is fascinating and makes you wish you could stay longer
THE THIN AIR AT ALMAThe ALMA Radio Telescope is equally impressive At an altitude of over 5 000 metres the relative lack of oxygen is a major concern apart from the extreme temperatures solar radiation and dry air I also experienced the unsettling feeling of having very little energy to perform any physical exercise feeling slightly light-headed and also developing a minor headache before returning to the
CHILE Deserts volcanoes earthquakes and more on the journey to see the ALMA Radio Telescope near San Pedro de Atacama - at an altitude where oxygen is scarce and UV radiation dangerously highBy Richard Lord
Ultraviolet radiation warning monitor at ALMA Operations Support Facility
Richard Lord in Santiago
Operations Support Facility (OSF) which is at a modest altitude of 2 440 metres But it was worth it A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to stand on top of the world and admire the human accomplishment of an international effort
THE IQUIQUE EARTHQUAKEThe cherry on the top of this extraordinary trip was my first-ever experience of an earthquake The 2014 Iquique earthquake
struck off the coast of Chile on 1 April with a moment magnitude of 82 It even triggered a tsunami of up to 211 metres that hit Iquique It wasnrsquot quite as dramatic at San Pedro de Atacama but nevertheless an unforgettable experience The earth was shaking for quite a long time maybe two minutes and even the locals said that it was the biggest earthquake they had witnessed for many years How perfect was the timing
of this trip The aftershocks during the next few days were equally exciting Except perhaps the aftershock that struck Santiago on my way back to South Africa Lying in my hotel bed on the 10th floor at midnight and suddenly hearing the entire building groan and squeak under the stresses of being shaken to and fro I had to admit that enough was enough and it was time to go home

The festive season is nearly upon us and has various connotations for everyone Some think of it as the time for giving some dream of snow-dusted streets warm crackling fires and mistletoe others think of twinkling lights and ribbons For me it is a season of sunshine swimming pools happy kids family meals and of coursehellip fresh berriesI believe that we eat with our eyes and nothing is more beautiful than these little gems from nature Strawberries cherries blackberries blueberries raspberries ndash all glowing with that rich colour Having berries around is the easiest way to make pretty food To make the most of the short berry season I add berries to many different meals Anything from a fruit salad at breakfast on crumpets as a quick snack added to
a refreshing drink and even a salad with chicken fish or pork I also add berries to quick desserts like vanilla ice cream and roasted nuts or to a crumble for added colour Then of course these sweet and juicy fruits seem to hold a special place on the South African festive table as the cherry on top of a light pavlovaThis pavlova from Make five is a little easier than most with a marshmallowy texture on the inside The combination of cregraveme fraicircche and Greek yoghurt is definitely a treat for this special time of year Although other fruit is just as delicious the berries add that beautiful festive colour and a refreshing break from a heavy pudding Sophia Loren said lsquoThe most indispensable ingredient of all good home cooking love for those you are cooking forrsquo Happy holidays and good cooking

Tis the season for berries
Tips1 Use any fruit such as figs pomegranate
seeds and grapes Seasonal fruit like nectarines are delicious with berries
2 When beating egg whites to stiff peaks use a stainless steel or glass mixing bowl not plastic The beaters and the bowl must be very clean and dry as a greasy residue will prevent the eggs from forming stiff peaks
3 Eggs that are kept at room temperature beat to a much higher volume than those from the fridge
4 Add the yolks to scrambled eggs or a fritatta

THE DIVIDED HOUSEHOLD
YOUR LIFE AND YOUR CHILDS LIFEOne thing that is happening more and more in our modern day world is the increase of children who are being raised by separated parents especially noticeable when the Christmas holidays come aroundThe most important thing to remember is that no matter how the two parents have separated ndash more often than not with bad feelings ndash that there is only one person who pays the real price and that is the child Parents need to own that no matter which parent has decided to move on both need to deal with it Each parent should sit down and make a list as to what they wish their new life to be like and a separate list for what they would like for their childrenWhen their parents split up children take the blame squarely on their shoulders and will internalise that if they had done lsquoXrsquo in a different way then their parents would still be together It is heart-breaking when parents place their own personal issues before that of the child
INPUT FROM BOTH PARENTSContact with both parents is crucial to the development of the child and once they grow up and mature you will be proud that you have a clean slate and your child will continue to have a good relationship with you If however you have kept the child away from the other spouse then they will harbour ill feelings towards you
COMMON GROUND TO PROVIDE STABILITYA child needs both parents they have not divorced either of them Each parent needs to develop their new set of rules for the home and accept that the other spouse now in their new abode may have completely different rules There also needs to be common ground where the child still continues with the same values
in both homes The child needs to be with each parent 50 of the time if possible as both parents are still the childrsquos parents
INFORM THE SCHOOLWith regard to school each parent needs to inform their childrsquos school and they need to receive all emails or communication from the school so that they are informed as to what is happening in their childrsquos life When money needs to be given to the school for outings etc the parents need to take ownership and balance what is needed so that the child does not feel the effects of the financial battle that may be going on between their parents Financial matters of any sort are for the adults to deal with and not for the children to worry about
HOW TO SHARE CHRISTMASEven more important with Christmas around the corner is to ensure that the child spends quality time with each parent where possible One year they can wake up with Mum and the next with Dad One needs to learn not to be selfish ndash remember it is not for you but for your child If they spend the lsquowaking uprsquo time with you then lunch could possibly be spent with the other parent if both parents live in the same town As long as both parents are positive and create a good working relationship your child will develop knowing a true sense of self and what relationships are all about Children learn from our behaviour and when they are older will re-enact what we have done
TWO LOVING HOMESBut it is not all doom and gloom If you sit down and work through this process without the emotions you will have a positive child who will flourish even though they have parents in different homes And when the time comes they will be able to say that it was better to have two loving homes than one constant battlefield
THE CHALLENGEAnd so I challenge all divorced or separated parents to share be reasonable and let your child remember this Christmas as one of the best thus far

PHAMBILI COMMUNITY PROJECTSPhambili is a non-profit organisation that grew out of Pinelands Methodist Church in response to fires in Langa in 2000 Since then many Pinelanders have been and still are involved in its projects and management We currently run three projects that aim to engage with the needs of the surrounding communities a job-readiness course that equips those searching for work with skills to be able to do so effectively (Zanokhanyo) a volunteer programme at Mokone Primary School in Langa (Umthombo) and Phambili Print amp Design which offers high quality digital and litho printing for businesses and individuals as a means of raising funds for the other projects
PHAMBILI AS A VEHICLEFOR COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENTMany people care for the needs of the suburbs surrounding Pinelands (and the people that subsequently enter Pinelands) but often donrsquot know how to
engage with them Phambili ngeThemba is dedicated to seeing transformation come to the informal area of Langa and the greater Cape Town region We aim to do this by enriching vibrant communities economically educationally and spiritually encouraging them to contribute to the future with dignity and respectThe hope is that Phambili might have the opportunity to share their experiences of working with people in need over the years and the stories of hope of people they have come into contact with so that they can be an uplifting influence to others
A HEARTWARMING STORYOF UPLIFTMENT BY PHAMBILIAfter completing the Zanokhanyo Job Readiness Course Yolanda Mtakatya found work at a local documenting company Starting as a Preparation Clerk she was promoted after only three months to the position of Quality Check Team Leader By the end of the year she had made her mark and received an award for being the Team Leader of the Year Getting promoted was not the only exciting thing that happened to this young mother ndash she also got married When asked how she manages to do so well in her job she said that Zanokhanyo helped build her confidence and perseverance and taught her valuable interviewing skills and the importance of punctuality She also emphasized that prayer played a big role in all of her achievements saying that she has never stopped praying

Meet Paul Stohrer Rotarian and co-ordinator of the internationally acclaimed Carols at Kirstenbosch Gardens Paul is seen here with his wife Julia and daughter Amy ndash who has played a role in every nativity pageant held at the Carols at Kirstenbosch since she was five years old
20 YEARS OF CAROLS AT KIRSTENBOSCHThe Carols at Kirstenbosch previously known as Carols by Candlelight has been running for more than twenty years This popular family event is organised by Kirstenbosch Rotary Club with sponsorship from PicknPay and Paul feels privileged to be able to use his business expertise in IT and event management to see that the Carols in the Gardens goes smoothly This year the concert will run from Thursday 18th December a discounted evening until 21st December The gates for the concert open at 5pm and the concert begins at 8pm Come early for a good spot on the lawn
FEATURED PRE CAROL ENTERTAINMENTThis event is a fabulous outdoors experience perfect for a summer evening and is very popular amongst Capetonians and international visitors Wowing the crowds this year before the carols will be Sterling EQ on Thursday Woodworks on Thursday and Friday Anecdote Irish Dancers Pipes and Drums on Saturday Marimba bands and the Gugulethu Tenors on Sunday The main Carol singing is accompanied by the Cape Town Concert Brass and the Cape Town Male Voice Choir Paul comments that all these musicians perform on a charitable basis for the Carols at Kirstenbosch which means that plans can change at the last minute The line up also includes a nightly Nativity Pageant in which Amy has played a part for many years

SURVIVING THE CHRISTMAS SPENDItrsquos starting to look like Christmas The malls are a maze of merriment and ablaze with bright baubles and as retailers fall over each other to sell you the fallacious promise that possessions are more valuable than experiences we ndash the consumer ndash are left dazed confused and all-too-often indebted As the season of excess approaches letrsquos gift ourselves a moment to plan how to survive the season without entering 2015 debt-laden and depressed It all starts with going back to basics
THE MEANING OF CHRISTMASYou donrsquot need to be Christian to appreciate the broader meaning of this season For many South Africans December is a time to take leave spend meaningful moments with family and friends and unwind It is a period of rest and rejuvenation A time of reflection and repose A season of giving celebrating and breaking bread together as we feast on fellowship How this beautiful season became so horrendously hi-jacked by the retail industry is a topic for another discussion but the challenge this Christmas is for each and every one of us to rediscover the beauty of Christmas free from the pressure to out-purchase the Potgieters
DOING WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPYResearch into consumer behaviour is unanimous ndash as humans we derive more joy from experiences than we do from purchasing material possessions In fact some research has found that consumers derive three times more pleasure from the anticipation of the purchase than from the actual act of purchasing ndash not least because they are plagued by buyerrsquos remorse and gut-wrenching guilt So if spending time with loved ones makes us happy and spending too much money makes us sad how is it that so many of us opt for the latter to the detriment of the former
MONEY MATTERS
Back to Basics
By Sue Torr Director at Crue Consulting
IT DOESNT NEED TO BE A TIME OF EXCESSThe answer is quite probably that as consumers we so easily become victims of over-stimulating retail environments and marketing messages that lead us to desert our very own value systems We are tempted to accept that in this season of excessive eating drinking resting fun feasting and fellowship it is inevitably also a season of excessive spending And when everybody else is blowing their bonus on this seasonrsquos must-have gaming station the power of the herd mentality is prone to usurp logic The truth however is that December is no extraordinary month But for the extra bottles of bubbly and tender turkey the same set of fiscal commitments exist as in any other month ndash and January brings a whole new set of financial commitments which include potentially high cost items such as school uniforms school fees premium increases to name just a few
IT REALLY IS THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTSIn getting back to basics we hold within us the power to reclaim Christmas and breathe new life into old adages such as ldquoitrsquos the thought that countsrdquo Because it really is In returning to basics we provide ourselves the opportunity to teach our children the value of both time and money Whether we help our children plant herb pots spray-paint pine cones or sell home-made Christmas cakes we are gifted not only with precious experiences but with the opportunity to instruct our children in environmental care the benefits of recycling and the need to support local business
KEEP IT SIMPLEBefore we succumb to mall madness letrsquos rediscover the pleasure of Christmas in the simplest of things Letrsquos buy local visit craft markets and support small business Letrsquos fortify the art of recycling re-using and re-purposing goods for the benefit of all Letrsquos relieve each other of the pressure to spend compete and compare Letrsquos rediscover the satisfaction of small gifts given with great love because in the words of Winnie-the-Pooh ldquoSometimes the smallest things take up the most room in our heartsrdquo

PINELANDERS
In April this year three colleagues from the SKA Organisation in Manchester and I travelled to the Republic of Chile to visit the ALMA Radio Telescope ALMA stands for ldquoAtacama Large Millimetersubmillimeter Arrayrdquo It is composed of 66 high-precision antennas and is located on the Chajnantor plateau in Northern Chilersquos Atacama desert at an altitude of 5 000 metres The purpose of the trip was to learn as much as possible from the ALMA team Their experience regarding the integration and verification of such a large instrument will benefit the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) which is co-sited in the deserts of South Africa and Australia (see Muse Dec 2012Jan 2013)
THE CAPITAL ndash SANTIAGOWe arrived in Santiago the capital city of Chile after a ten-hour flight from Johannesburg to Sao Paulo and another four-and-a-half hour flight from Sao Paulo to Santiago With a population of nearly six million people Santiago is also the largest city in Chile Skyscrapers and unattractive apartment blocks cover the horizon but the city centre does have a peculiar
earthy charm ndash and many stray dogs The influence of the Roman Catholic Church is also evident with many beautiful churches decorated with exquisite ornaments and religious statues
SAN PEDRO DE ATACAMAFrom Santiago we flew to Calama in North-Eastern Chile followed by a one-hour bus ride to San Pedro de Atacama San Pedro de Atacama is a small town with only a few thousand inhabitants but it seemed to buzz with just as many tourists with one BampB located next to the other It is a charming town though and the hub for many tourists visiting the region I wished I had had more time to explore the surroundings and soon came to appreciate what brings so many tourists to the worldrsquos driest desert ndash Northern Chile has a majestic beauty that is different from any other place I have been to The mountains are gigantic dwarfing the Hottentots Holland mountains that we so admire when travelling towards Worcester from Cape Town Due to the mineral content of the soil (or so I have been told)
the mountains sometimes display shades of orange and purple and green adding to their grandeur And then there is the Licancabur Volcano which used to be a sacred place for the Inca Empire a place where the Incas would carry out religious ceremonies to worship the sun Laguna Chaxa a national reservation located at the heart of the Atacama salt pan is inhabited by three species of flamingos year-round Or you could join a ldquoTour Arqueologicordquo to learn more about the rich cultural inheritance The entire region soon reveals a mystique that is fascinating and makes you wish you could stay longer
THE THIN AIR AT ALMAThe ALMA Radio Telescope is equally impressive At an altitude of over 5 000 metres the relative lack of oxygen is a major concern apart from the extreme temperatures solar radiation and dry air I also experienced the unsettling feeling of having very little energy to perform any physical exercise feeling slightly light-headed and also developing a minor headache before returning to the
CHILE Deserts volcanoes earthquakes and more on the journey to see the ALMA Radio Telescope near San Pedro de Atacama - at an altitude where oxygen is scarce and UV radiation dangerously highBy Richard Lord
Ultraviolet radiation warning monitor at ALMA Operations Support Facility
Richard Lord in Santiago
Operations Support Facility (OSF) which is at a modest altitude of 2 440 metres But it was worth it A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to stand on top of the world and admire the human accomplishment of an international effort
THE IQUIQUE EARTHQUAKEThe cherry on the top of this extraordinary trip was my first-ever experience of an earthquake The 2014 Iquique earthquake
struck off the coast of Chile on 1 April with a moment magnitude of 82 It even triggered a tsunami of up to 211 metres that hit Iquique It wasnrsquot quite as dramatic at San Pedro de Atacama but nevertheless an unforgettable experience The earth was shaking for quite a long time maybe two minutes and even the locals said that it was the biggest earthquake they had witnessed for many years How perfect was the timing
of this trip The aftershocks during the next few days were equally exciting Except perhaps the aftershock that struck Santiago on my way back to South Africa Lying in my hotel bed on the 10th floor at midnight and suddenly hearing the entire building groan and squeak under the stresses of being shaken to and fro I had to admit that enough was enough and it was time to go home

FOOD FROM THE HEART
An offer for Muse readers ndash not to be missed
Recipe from Make five Maak vyfServes 8
The festive season is nearly upon us and has various connotations for everyone Some think of it as the time for giving some dream of snow-dusted streets warm crackling fires and mistletoe others think of twinkling lights and ribbons For me it is a season of sunshine swimming pools happy kids family meals and of coursehellip fresh berriesI believe that we eat with our eyes and nothing is more beautiful than these little gems from nature Strawberries cherries blackberries blueberries raspberries ndash all glowing with that rich colour Having berries around is the easiest way to make pretty food To make the most of the short berry season I add berries to many different meals Anything from a fruit salad at breakfast on crumpets as a quick snack added to
a refreshing drink and even a salad with chicken fish or pork I also add berries to quick desserts like vanilla ice cream and roasted nuts or to a crumble for added colour Then of course these sweet and juicy fruits seem to hold a special place on the South African festive table as the cherry on top of a light pavlovaThis pavlova from Make five is a little easier than most with a marshmallowy texture on the inside The combination of cregraveme fraicircche and Greek yoghurt is definitely a treat for this special time of year Although other fruit is just as delicious the berries add that beautiful festive colour and a refreshing break from a heavy pudding Sophia Loren said lsquoThe most indispensable ingredient of all good home cooking love for those you are cooking forrsquo Happy holidays and good cooking

Tis the season for berries
Tips1 Use any fruit such as figs pomegranate
seeds and grapes Seasonal fruit like nectarines are delicious with berries
2 When beating egg whites to stiff peaks use a stainless steel or glass mixing bowl not plastic The beaters and the bowl must be very clean and dry as a greasy residue will prevent the eggs from forming stiff peaks
3 Eggs that are kept at room temperature beat to a much higher volume than those from the fridge
4 Add the yolks to scrambled eggs or a fritatta

PHAMBILI COMMUNITY PROJECTSPhambili is a non-profit organisation that grew out of Pinelands Methodist Church in response to fires in Langa in 2000 Since then many Pinelanders have been and still are involved in its projects and management We currently run three projects that aim to engage with the needs of the surrounding communities a job-readiness course that equips those searching for work with skills to be able to do so effectively (Zanokhanyo) a volunteer programme at Mokone Primary School in Langa (Umthombo) and Phambili Print amp Design which offers high quality digital and litho printing for businesses and individuals as a means of raising funds for the other projects
PHAMBILI AS A VEHICLEFOR COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENTMany people care for the needs of the suburbs surrounding Pinelands (and the people that subsequently enter Pinelands) but often donrsquot know how to
engage with them Phambili ngeThemba is dedicated to seeing transformation come to the informal area of Langa and the greater Cape Town region We aim to do this by enriching vibrant communities economically educationally and spiritually encouraging them to contribute to the future with dignity and respectThe hope is that Phambili might have the opportunity to share their experiences of working with people in need over the years and the stories of hope of people they have come into contact with so that they can be an uplifting influence to others
A HEARTWARMING STORYOF UPLIFTMENT BY PHAMBILIAfter completing the Zanokhanyo Job Readiness Course Yolanda Mtakatya found work at a local documenting company Starting as a Preparation Clerk she was promoted after only three months to the position of Quality Check Team Leader By the end of the year she had made her mark and received an award for being the Team Leader of the Year Getting promoted was not the only exciting thing that happened to this young mother ndash she also got married When asked how she manages to do so well in her job she said that Zanokhanyo helped build her confidence and perseverance and taught her valuable interviewing skills and the importance of punctuality She also emphasized that prayer played a big role in all of her achievements saying that she has never stopped praying

Meet Paul Stohrer Rotarian and co-ordinator of the internationally acclaimed Carols at Kirstenbosch Gardens Paul is seen here with his wife Julia and daughter Amy ndash who has played a role in every nativity pageant held at the Carols at Kirstenbosch since she was five years old
20 YEARS OF CAROLS AT KIRSTENBOSCHThe Carols at Kirstenbosch previously known as Carols by Candlelight has been running for more than twenty years This popular family event is organised by Kirstenbosch Rotary Club with sponsorship from PicknPay and Paul feels privileged to be able to use his business expertise in IT and event management to see that the Carols in the Gardens goes smoothly This year the concert will run from Thursday 18th December a discounted evening until 21st December The gates for the concert open at 5pm and the concert begins at 8pm Come early for a good spot on the lawn

SURVIVING THE CHRISTMAS SPENDItrsquos starting to look like Christmas The malls are a maze of merriment and ablaze with bright baubles and as retailers fall over each other to sell you the fallacious promise that possessions are more valuable than experiences we ndash the consumer ndash are left dazed confused and all-too-often indebted As the season of excess approaches letrsquos gift ourselves a moment to plan how to survive the season without entering 2015 debt-laden and depressed It all starts with going back to basics
THE MEANING OF CHRISTMASYou donrsquot need to be Christian to appreciate the broader meaning of this season For many South Africans December is a time to take leave spend meaningful moments with family and friends and unwind It is a period of rest and rejuvenation A time of reflection and repose A season of giving celebrating and breaking bread together as we feast on fellowship How this beautiful season became so horrendously hi-jacked by the retail industry is a topic for another discussion but the challenge this Christmas is for each and every one of us to rediscover the beauty of Christmas free from the pressure to out-purchase the Potgieters
DOING WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPYResearch into consumer behaviour is unanimous ndash as humans we derive more joy from experiences than we do from purchasing material possessions In fact some research has found that consumers derive three times more pleasure from the anticipation of the purchase than from the actual act of purchasing ndash not least because they are plagued by buyerrsquos remorse and gut-wrenching guilt So if spending time with loved ones makes us happy and spending too much money makes us sad how is it that so many of us opt for the latter to the detriment of the former
MONEY MATTERS
Back to Basics
By Sue Torr Director at Crue Consulting
IT DOESNT NEED TO BE A TIME OF EXCESSThe answer is quite probably that as consumers we so easily become victims of over-stimulating retail environments and marketing messages that lead us to desert our very own value systems We are tempted to accept that in this season of excessive eating drinking resting fun feasting and fellowship it is inevitably also a season of excessive spending And when everybody else is blowing their bonus on this seasonrsquos must-have gaming station the power of the herd mentality is prone to usurp logic The truth however is that December is no extraordinary month But for the extra bottles of bubbly and tender turkey the same set of fiscal commitments exist as in any other month ndash and January brings a whole new set of financial commitments which include potentially high cost items such as school uniforms school fees premium increases to name just a few
IT REALLY IS THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTSIn getting back to basics we hold within us the power to reclaim Christmas and breathe new life into old adages such as ldquoitrsquos the thought that countsrdquo Because it really is In returning to basics we provide ourselves the opportunity to teach our children the value of both time and money Whether we help our children plant herb pots spray-paint pine cones or sell home-made Christmas cakes we are gifted not only with precious experiences but with the opportunity to instruct our children in environmental care the benefits of recycling and the need to support local business
KEEP IT SIMPLEBefore we succumb to mall madness letrsquos rediscover the pleasure of Christmas in the simplest of things Letrsquos buy local visit craft markets and support small business Letrsquos fortify the art of recycling re-using and re-purposing goods for the benefit of all Letrsquos relieve each other of the pressure to spend compete and compare Letrsquos rediscover the satisfaction of small gifts given with great love because in the words of Winnie-the-Pooh ldquoSometimes the smallest things take up the most room in our heartsrdquo
The second best

In April this year three colleagues from the SKA Organisation in Manchester and I travelled to the Republic of Chile to visit the ALMA Radio Telescope ALMA stands for ldquoAtacama Large Millimetersubmillimeter Arrayrdquo It is composed of 66 high-precision antennas and is located on the Chajnantor plateau in Northern Chilersquos Atacama desert at an altitude of 5 000 metres The purpose of the trip was to learn as much as possible from the ALMA team Their experience regarding the integration and verification of such a large instrument will benefit the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) which is co-sited in the deserts of South Africa and Australia (see Muse Dec 2012Jan 2013)
THE CAPITAL ndash SANTIAGOWe arrived in Santiago the capital city of Chile after a ten-hour flight from Johannesburg to Sao Paulo and another four-and-a-half hour flight from Sao Paulo to Santiago With a population of nearly six million people Santiago is also the largest city in Chile Skyscrapers and unattractive apartment blocks cover the horizon but the city centre does have a peculiar
earthy charm ndash and many stray dogs The influence of the Roman Catholic Church is also evident with many beautiful churches decorated with exquisite ornaments and religious statues
SAN PEDRO DE ATACAMAFrom Santiago we flew to Calama in North-Eastern Chile followed by a one-hour bus ride to San Pedro de Atacama San Pedro de Atacama is a small town with only a few thousand inhabitants but it seemed to buzz with just as many tourists with one BampB located next to the other It is a charming town though and the hub for many tourists visiting the region I wished I had had more time to explore the surroundings and soon came to appreciate what brings so many tourists to the worldrsquos driest desert ndash Northern Chile has a majestic beauty that is different from any other place I have been to The mountains are gigantic dwarfing the Hottentots Holland mountains that we so admire when travelling towards Worcester from Cape Town Due to the mineral content of the soil (or so I have been told)
the mountains sometimes display shades of orange and purple and green adding to their grandeur And then there is the Licancabur Volcano which used to be a sacred place for the Inca Empire a place where the Incas would carry out religious ceremonies to worship the sun Laguna Chaxa a national reservation located at the heart of the Atacama salt pan is inhabited by three species of flamingos year-round Or you could join a ldquoTour Arqueologicordquo to learn more about the rich cultural inheritance The entire region soon reveals a mystique that is fascinating and makes you wish you could stay longer
THE THIN AIR AT ALMAThe ALMA Radio Telescope is equally impressive At an altitude of over 5 000 metres the relative lack of oxygen is a major concern apart from the extreme temperatures solar radiation and dry air I also experienced the unsettling feeling of having very little energy to perform any physical exercise feeling slightly light-headed and also developing a minor headache before returning to the
CHILE Deserts volcanoes earthquakes and more on the journey to see the ALMA Radio Telescope near San Pedro de Atacama - at an altitude where oxygen is scarce and UV radiation dangerously highBy Richard Lord
Ultraviolet radiation warning monitor at ALMA Operations Support Facility
Richard Lord in Santiago
Operations Support Facility (OSF) which is at a modest altitude of 2 440 metres But it was worth it A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to stand on top of the world and admire the human accomplishment of an international effort
THE IQUIQUE EARTHQUAKEThe cherry on the top of this extraordinary trip was my first-ever experience of an earthquake The 2014 Iquique earthquake
struck off the coast of Chile on 1 April with a moment magnitude of 82 It even triggered a tsunami of up to 211 metres that hit Iquique It wasnrsquot quite as dramatic at San Pedro de Atacama but nevertheless an unforgettable experience The earth was shaking for quite a long time maybe two minutes and even the locals said that it was the biggest earthquake they had witnessed for many years How perfect was the timing
of this trip The aftershocks during the next few days were equally exciting Except perhaps the aftershock that struck Santiago on my way back to South Africa Lying in my hotel bed on the 10th floor at midnight and suddenly hearing the entire building groan and squeak under the stresses of being shaken to and fro I had to admit that enough was enough and it was time to go home

FOOD FROM THE HEART
An offer for Muse readers ndash not to be missed
Recipe from Make five Maak vyfServes 8
The festive season is nearly upon us and has various connotations for everyone Some think of it as the time for giving some dream of snow-dusted streets warm crackling fires and mistletoe others think of twinkling lights and ribbons For me it is a season of sunshine swimming pools happy kids family meals and of coursehellip fresh berriesI believe that we eat with our eyes and nothing is more beautiful than these little gems from nature Strawberries cherries blackberries blueberries raspberries ndash all glowing with that rich colour Having berries around is the easiest way to make pretty food To make the most of the short berry season I add berries to many different meals Anything from a fruit salad at breakfast on crumpets as a quick snack added to
a refreshing drink and even a salad with chicken fish or pork I also add berries to quick desserts like vanilla ice cream and roasted nuts or to a crumble for added colour Then of course these sweet and juicy fruits seem to hold a special place on the South African festive table as the cherry on top of a light pavlovaThis pavlova from Make five is a little easier than most with a marshmallowy texture on the inside The combination of cregraveme fraicircche and Greek yoghurt is definitely a treat for this special time of year Although other fruit is just as delicious the berries add that beautiful festive colour and a refreshing break from a heavy pudding Sophia Loren said lsquoThe most indispensable ingredient of all good home cooking love for those you are cooking forrsquo Happy holidays and good cooking

BERRY PAVLOVA
Tis the season for berries
Tips1 Use any fruit such as figs pomegranate
seeds and grapes Seasonal fruit like nectarines are delicious with berries
2 When beating egg whites to stiff peaks use a stainless steel or glass mixing bowl not plastic The beaters and the bowl must be very clean and dry as a greasy residue will prevent the eggs from forming stiff peaks
3 Eggs that are kept at room temperature beat to a much higher volume than those from the fridge
4 Add the yolks to scrambled eggs or a fritatta

Meet Paul Stohrer Rotarian and co-ordinator of the internationally acclaimed Carols at Kirstenbosch Gardens Paul is seen here with his wife Julia and daughter Amy ndash who has played a role in every nativity pageant held at the Carols at Kirstenbosch since she was five years old
20 YEARS OF CAROLS AT KIRSTENBOSCHThe Carols at Kirstenbosch previously known as Carols by Candlelight has been running for more than twenty years This popular family event is organised by Kirstenbosch Rotary Club with sponsorship from PicknPay and Paul feels privileged to be able to use his business expertise in IT and event management to see that the Carols in the Gardens goes smoothly This year the concert will run from Thursday 18th December a discounted evening until 21st December The gates for the concert open at 5pm and the concert begins at 8pm Come early for a good spot on the lawn
FEATURED PRE CAROL ENTERTAINMENTThis event is a fabulous outdoors experience perfect for a summer evening and is very popular amongst Capetonians and international visitors Wowing the crowds this year before the carols will be Sterling EQ on Thursday Woodworks on Thursday and Friday Anecdote Irish Dancers Pipes and Drums on Saturday Marimba bands and the Gugulethu Tenors on Sunday The main Carol singing is accompanied by the Cape Town Concert Brass and the Cape Town Male Voice Choir Paul comments that all these musicians perform on a charitable basis for the Carols at Kirstenbosch which means that plans can change at the last minute The line up also includes a nightly Nativity Pageant in which Amy has played a part for many years
NUMEROUS CHARITIES WILL BENEFITThe candles have now been replaced with glow sticks ndash a wise safety measure PicknPay provide the glow stick and carol sheets The funds raised from the event which draws in 6 000 people per night over four nights is distributed in part back to the gardens and then to charities supported by Rotary which include Literacy programs for teachers and learners upgrading

SURVIVING THE CHRISTMAS SPENDItrsquos starting to look like Christmas The malls are a maze of merriment and ablaze with bright baubles and as retailers fall over each other to sell you the fallacious promise that possessions are more valuable than experiences we ndash the consumer ndash are left dazed confused and all-too-often indebted As the season of excess approaches letrsquos gift ourselves a moment to plan how to survive the season without entering 2015 debt-laden and depressed It all starts with going back to basics
THE MEANING OF CHRISTMASYou donrsquot need to be Christian to appreciate the broader meaning of this season For many South Africans December is a time to take leave spend meaningful moments with family and friends and unwind It is a period of rest and rejuvenation A time of reflection and repose A season of giving celebrating and breaking bread together as we feast on fellowship How this beautiful season became so horrendously hi-jacked by the retail industry is a topic for another discussion but the challenge this Christmas is for each and every one of us to rediscover the beauty of Christmas free from the pressure to out-purchase the Potgieters
DOING WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPYResearch into consumer behaviour is unanimous ndash as humans we derive more joy from experiences than we do from purchasing material possessions In fact some research has found that consumers derive three times more pleasure from the anticipation of the purchase than from the actual act of purchasing ndash not least because they are plagued by buyerrsquos remorse and gut-wrenching guilt So if spending time with loved ones makes us happy and spending too much money makes us sad how is it that so many of us opt for the latter to the detriment of the former
MONEY MATTERS
Back to Basics
By Sue Torr Director at Crue Consulting
IT DOESNT NEED TO BE A TIME OF EXCESSThe answer is quite probably that as consumers we so easily become victims of over-stimulating retail environments and marketing messages that lead us to desert our very own value systems We are tempted to accept that in this season of excessive eating drinking resting fun feasting and fellowship it is inevitably also a season of excessive spending And when everybody else is blowing their bonus on this seasonrsquos must-have gaming station the power of the herd mentality is prone to usurp logic The truth however is that December is no extraordinary month But for the extra bottles of bubbly and tender turkey the same set of fiscal commitments exist as in any other month ndash and January brings a whole new set of financial commitments which include potentially high cost items such as school uniforms school fees premium increases to name just a few
IT REALLY IS THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTSIn getting back to basics we hold within us the power to reclaim Christmas and breathe new life into old adages such as ldquoitrsquos the thought that countsrdquo Because it really is In returning to basics we provide ourselves the opportunity to teach our children the value of both time and money Whether we help our children plant herb pots spray-paint pine cones or sell home-made Christmas cakes we are gifted not only with precious experiences but with the opportunity to instruct our children in environmental care the benefits of recycling and the need to support local business
KEEP IT SIMPLEBefore we succumb to mall madness letrsquos rediscover the pleasure of Christmas in the simplest of things Letrsquos buy local visit craft markets and support small business Letrsquos fortify the art of recycling re-using and re-purposing goods for the benefit of all Letrsquos relieve each other of the pressure to spend compete and compare Letrsquos rediscover the satisfaction of small gifts given with great love because in the words of Winnie-the-Pooh ldquoSometimes the smallest things take up the most room in our heartsrdquo
The second best

In April this year three colleagues from the SKA Organisation in Manchester and I travelled to the Republic of Chile to visit the ALMA Radio Telescope ALMA stands for ldquoAtacama Large Millimetersubmillimeter Arrayrdquo It is composed of 66 high-precision antennas and is located on the Chajnantor plateau in Northern Chilersquos Atacama desert at an altitude of 5 000 metres The purpose of the trip was to learn as much as possible from the ALMA team Their experience regarding the integration and verification of such a large instrument will benefit the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) which is co-sited in the deserts of South Africa and Australia (see Muse Dec 2012Jan 2013)
THE CAPITAL ndash SANTIAGOWe arrived in Santiago the capital city of Chile after a ten-hour flight from Johannesburg to Sao Paulo and another four-and-a-half hour flight from Sao Paulo to Santiago With a population of nearly six million people Santiago is also the largest city in Chile Skyscrapers and unattractive apartment blocks cover the horizon but the city centre does have a peculiar
earthy charm ndash and many stray dogs The influence of the Roman Catholic Church is also evident with many beautiful churches decorated with exquisite ornaments and religious statues
SAN PEDRO DE ATACAMAFrom Santiago we flew to Calama in North-Eastern Chile followed by a one-hour bus ride to San Pedro de Atacama San Pedro de Atacama is a small town with only a few thousand inhabitants but it seemed to buzz with just as many tourists with one BampB located next to the other It is a charming town though and the hub for many tourists visiting the region I wished I had had more time to explore the surroundings and soon came to appreciate what brings so many tourists to the worldrsquos driest desert ndash Northern Chile has a majestic beauty that is different from any other place I have been to The mountains are gigantic dwarfing the Hottentots Holland mountains that we so admire when travelling towards Worcester from Cape Town Due to the mineral content of the soil (or so I have been told)
the mountains sometimes display shades of orange and purple and green adding to their grandeur And then there is the Licancabur Volcano which used to be a sacred place for the Inca Empire a place where the Incas would carry out religious ceremonies to worship the sun Laguna Chaxa a national reservation located at the heart of the Atacama salt pan is inhabited by three species of flamingos year-round Or you could join a ldquoTour Arqueologicordquo to learn more about the rich cultural inheritance The entire region soon reveals a mystique that is fascinating and makes you wish you could stay longer
THE THIN AIR AT ALMAThe ALMA Radio Telescope is equally impressive At an altitude of over 5 000 metres the relative lack of oxygen is a major concern apart from the extreme temperatures solar radiation and dry air I also experienced the unsettling feeling of having very little energy to perform any physical exercise feeling slightly light-headed and also developing a minor headache before returning to the
CHILE Deserts volcanoes earthquakes and more on the journey to see the ALMA Radio Telescope near San Pedro de Atacama - at an altitude where oxygen is scarce and UV radiation dangerously highBy Richard Lord
Ultraviolet radiation warning monitor at ALMA Operations Support Facility
Richard Lord in Santiago
Operations Support Facility (OSF) which is at a modest altitude of 2 440 metres But it was worth it A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to stand on top of the world and admire the human accomplishment of an international effort
THE IQUIQUE EARTHQUAKEThe cherry on the top of this extraordinary trip was my first-ever experience of an earthquake The 2014 Iquique earthquake
struck off the coast of Chile on 1 April with a moment magnitude of 82 It even triggered a tsunami of up to 211 metres that hit Iquique It wasnrsquot quite as dramatic at San Pedro de Atacama but nevertheless an unforgettable experience The earth was shaking for quite a long time maybe two minutes and even the locals said that it was the biggest earthquake they had witnessed for many years How perfect was the timing
of this trip The aftershocks during the next few days were equally exciting Except perhaps the aftershock that struck Santiago on my way back to South Africa Lying in my hotel bed on the 10th floor at midnight and suddenly hearing the entire building groan and squeak under the stresses of being shaken to and fro I had to admit that enough was enough and it was time to go home

FOOD FROM THE HEART

Recipe from Make five Maak vyfServes 8
The festive season is nearly upon us and has various connotations for everyone Some think of it as the time for giving some dream of snow-dusted streets warm crackling fires and mistletoe others think of twinkling lights and ribbons For me it is a season of sunshine swimming pools happy kids family meals and of coursehellip fresh berriesI believe that we eat with our eyes and nothing is more beautiful than these little gems from nature Strawberries cherries blackberries blueberries raspberries ndash all glowing with that rich colour Having berries around is the easiest way to make pretty food To make the most of the short berry season I add berries to many different meals Anything from a fruit salad at breakfast on crumpets as a quick snack added to
a refreshing drink and even a salad with chicken fish or pork I also add berries to quick desserts like vanilla ice cream and roasted nuts or to a crumble for added colour Then of course these sweet and juicy fruits seem to hold a special place on the South African festive table as the cherry on top of a light pavlovaThis pavlova from Make five is a little easier than most with a marshmallowy texture on the inside The combination of cregraveme fraicircche and Greek yoghurt is definitely a treat for this special time of year Although other fruit is just as delicious the berries add that beautiful festive colour and a refreshing break from a heavy pudding Sophia Loren said lsquoThe most indispensable ingredient of all good home cooking love for those you are cooking forrsquo Happy holidays and good cooking

Tis the season for berries
Tips1 Use any fruit such as figs pomegranate
seeds and grapes Seasonal fruit like nectarines are delicious with berries
2 When beating egg whites to stiff peaks use a stainless steel or glass mixing bowl not plastic The beaters and the bowl must be very clean and dry as a greasy residue will prevent the eggs from forming stiff peaks
3 Eggs that are kept at room temperature beat to a much higher volume than those from the fridge
4 Add the yolks to scrambled eggs or a fritatta

SURVIVING THE CHRISTMAS SPENDItrsquos starting to look like Christmas The malls are a maze of merriment and ablaze with bright baubles and as retailers fall over each other to sell you the fallacious promise that possessions are more valuable than experiences we ndash the consumer ndash are left dazed confused and all-too-often indebted As the season of excess approaches letrsquos gift ourselves a moment to plan how to survive the season without entering 2015 debt-laden and depressed It all starts with going back to basics
THE MEANING OF CHRISTMASYou donrsquot need to be Christian to appreciate the broader meaning of this season For many South Africans December is a time to take leave spend meaningful moments with family and friends and unwind It is a period of rest and rejuvenation A time of reflection and repose A season of giving celebrating and breaking bread together as we feast on fellowship How this beautiful season became so horrendously hi-jacked by the retail industry is a topic for another discussion but the challenge this Christmas is for each and every one of us to rediscover the beauty of Christmas free from the pressure to out-purchase the Potgieters
DOING WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPYResearch into consumer behaviour is unanimous ndash as humans we derive more joy from experiences than we do from purchasing material possessions In fact some research has found that consumers derive three times more pleasure from the anticipation of the purchase than from the actual act of purchasing ndash not least because they are plagued by buyerrsquos remorse and gut-wrenching guilt So if spending time with loved ones makes us happy and spending too much money makes us sad how is it that so many of us opt for the latter to the detriment of the former
MONEY MATTERS
Back to Basics
By Sue Torr Director at Crue Consulting
IT DOESNT NEED TO BE A TIME OF EXCESSThe answer is quite probably that as consumers we so easily become victims of over-stimulating retail environments and marketing messages that lead us to desert our very own value systems We are tempted to accept that in this season of excessive eating drinking resting fun feasting and fellowship it is inevitably also a season of excessive spending And when everybody else is blowing their bonus on this seasonrsquos must-have gaming station the power of the herd mentality is prone to usurp logic The truth however is that December is no extraordinary month But for the extra bottles of bubbly and tender turkey the same set of fiscal commitments exist as in any other month ndash and January brings a whole new set of financial commitments which include potentially high cost items such as school uniforms school fees premium increases to name just a few
IT REALLY IS THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTSIn getting back to basics we hold within us the power to reclaim Christmas and breathe new life into old adages such as ldquoitrsquos the thought that countsrdquo Because it really is In returning to basics we provide ourselves the opportunity to teach our children the value of both time and money Whether we help our children plant herb pots spray-paint pine cones or sell home-made Christmas cakes we are gifted not only with precious experiences but with the opportunity to instruct our children in environmental care the benefits of recycling and the need to support local business
KEEP IT SIMPLEBefore we succumb to mall madness letrsquos rediscover the pleasure of Christmas in the simplest of things Letrsquos buy local visit craft markets and support small business Letrsquos fortify the art of recycling re-using and re-purposing goods for the benefit of all Letrsquos relieve each other of the pressure to spend compete and compare Letrsquos rediscover the satisfaction of small gifts given with great love because in the words of Winnie-the-Pooh ldquoSometimes the smallest things take up the most room in our heartsrdquo
The second best

In April this year three colleagues from the SKA Organisation in Manchester and I travelled to the Republic of Chile to visit the ALMA Radio Telescope ALMA stands for ldquoAtacama Large Millimetersubmillimeter Arrayrdquo It is composed of 66 high-precision antennas and is located on the Chajnantor plateau in Northern Chilersquos Atacama desert at an altitude of 5 000 metres The purpose of the trip was to learn as much as possible from the ALMA team Their experience regarding the integration and verification of such a large instrument will benefit the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) which is co-sited in the deserts of South Africa and Australia (see Muse Dec 2012Jan 2013)
THE CAPITAL ndash SANTIAGOWe arrived in Santiago the capital city of Chile after a ten-hour flight from Johannesburg to Sao Paulo and another four-and-a-half hour flight from Sao Paulo to Santiago With a population of nearly six million people Santiago is also the largest city in Chile Skyscrapers and unattractive apartment blocks cover the horizon but the city centre does have a peculiar
earthy charm ndash and many stray dogs The influence of the Roman Catholic Church is also evident with many beautiful churches decorated with exquisite ornaments and religious statues
SAN PEDRO DE ATACAMAFrom Santiago we flew to Calama in North-Eastern Chile followed by a one-hour bus ride to San Pedro de Atacama San Pedro de Atacama is a small town with only a few thousand inhabitants but it seemed to buzz with just as many tourists with one BampB located next to the other It is a charming town though and the hub for many tourists visiting the region I wished I had had more time to explore the surroundings and soon came to appreciate what brings so many tourists to the worldrsquos driest desert ndash Northern Chile has a majestic beauty that is different from any other place I have been to The mountains are gigantic dwarfing the Hottentots Holland mountains that we so admire when travelling towards Worcester from Cape Town Due to the mineral content of the soil (or so I have been told)
the mountains sometimes display shades of orange and purple and green adding to their grandeur And then there is the Licancabur Volcano which used to be a sacred place for the Inca Empire a place where the Incas would carry out religious ceremonies to worship the sun Laguna Chaxa a national reservation located at the heart of the Atacama salt pan is inhabited by three species of flamingos year-round Or you could join a ldquoTour Arqueologicordquo to learn more about the rich cultural inheritance The entire region soon reveals a mystique that is fascinating and makes you wish you could stay longer
THE THIN AIR AT ALMAThe ALMA Radio Telescope is equally impressive At an altitude of over 5 000 metres the relative lack of oxygen is a major concern apart from the extreme temperatures solar radiation and dry air I also experienced the unsettling feeling of having very little energy to perform any physical exercise feeling slightly light-headed and also developing a minor headache before returning to the
CHILE Deserts volcanoes earthquakes and more on the journey to see the ALMA Radio Telescope near San Pedro de Atacama - at an altitude where oxygen is scarce and UV radiation dangerously highBy Richard Lord

Operations Support Facility (OSF) which is at a modest altitude of 2 440 metres But it was worth it A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to stand on top of the world and admire the human accomplishment of an international effort
THE IQUIQUE EARTHQUAKEThe cherry on the top of this extraordinary trip was my first-ever experience of an earthquake The 2014 Iquique earthquake
struck off the coast of Chile on 1 April with a moment magnitude of 82 It even triggered a tsunami of up to 211 metres that hit Iquique It wasnrsquot quite as dramatic at San Pedro de Atacama but nevertheless an unforgettable experience The earth was shaking for quite a long time maybe two minutes and even the locals said that it was the biggest earthquake they had witnessed for many years How perfect was the timing
of this trip The aftershocks during the next few days were equally exciting Except perhaps the aftershock that struck Santiago on my way back to South Africa Lying in my hotel bed on the 10th floor at midnight and suddenly hearing the entire building groan and squeak under the stresses of being shaken to and fro I had to admit that enough was enough and it was time to go home

FOOD FROM THE HEART
An offer for Muse readers ndash not to be missed
Recipe from Make five Maak vyfServes 8
The festive season is nearly upon us and has various connotations for everyone Some think of it as the time for giving some dream of snow-dusted streets warm crackling fires and mistletoe others think of twinkling lights and ribbons For me it is a season of sunshine swimming pools happy kids family meals and of coursehellip fresh berriesI believe that we eat with our eyes and nothing is more beautiful than these little gems from nature Strawberries cherries blackberries blueberries raspberries ndash all glowing with that rich colour Having berries around is the easiest way to make pretty food To make the most of the short berry season I add berries to many different meals Anything from a fruit salad at breakfast on crumpets as a quick snack added to
a refreshing drink and even a salad with chicken fish or pork I also add berries to quick desserts like vanilla ice cream and roasted nuts or to a crumble for added colour Then of course these sweet and juicy fruits seem to hold a special place on the South African festive table as the cherry on top of a light pavlovaThis pavlova from Make five is a little easier than most with a marshmallowy texture on the inside The combination of cregraveme fraicircche and Greek yoghurt is definitely a treat for this special time of year Although other fruit is just as delicious the berries add that beautiful festive colour and a refreshing break from a heavy pudding Sophia Loren said lsquoThe most indispensable ingredient of all good home cooking love for those you are cooking forrsquo Happy holidays and good cooking

BERRY PAVLOVA
Tis the season for berries
Tips1 Use any fruit such as figs pomegranate
seeds and grapes Seasonal fruit like nectarines are delicious with berries
2 When beating egg whites to stiff peaks use a stainless steel or glass mixing bowl not plastic The beaters and the bowl must be very clean and dry as a greasy residue will prevent the eggs from forming stiff peaks
3 Eggs that are kept at room temperature beat to a much higher volume than those from the fridge
4 Add the yolks to scrambled eggs or a fritatta

SURVIVING THE CHRISTMAS SPENDItrsquos starting to look like Christmas The malls are a maze of merriment and ablaze with bright baubles and as retailers fall over each other to sell you the fallacious promise that possessions are more valuable than experiences we ndash the consumer ndash are left dazed confused and all-too-often indebted As the season of excess approaches letrsquos gift ourselves a moment to plan how to survive the season without entering 2015 debt-laden and depressed It all starts with going back to basics
THE MEANING OF CHRISTMASYou donrsquot need to be Christian to appreciate the broader meaning of this season For many South Africans December is a time to take leave spend meaningful moments with family and friends and unwind It is a period of rest and rejuvenation A time of reflection and repose A season of giving celebrating and breaking bread together as we feast on fellowship How this beautiful season became so horrendously hi-jacked by the retail industry is a topic for another discussion but the challenge this Christmas is for each and every one of us to rediscover the beauty of Christmas free from the pressure to out-purchase the Potgieters
DOING WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPYResearch into consumer behaviour is unanimous ndash as humans we derive more joy from experiences than we do from purchasing material possessions In fact some research has found that consumers derive three times more pleasure from the anticipation of the purchase than from the actual act of purchasing ndash not least because they are plagued by buyerrsquos remorse and gut-wrenching guilt So if spending time with loved ones makes us happy and spending too much money makes us sad how is it that so many of us opt for the latter to the detriment of the former
MONEY MATTERS
Back to Basics
By Sue Torr Director at Crue Consulting
IT DOESNT NEED TO BE A TIME OF EXCESSThe answer is quite probably that as consumers we so easily become victims of over-stimulating retail environments and marketing messages that lead us to desert our very own value systems We are tempted to accept that in this season of excessive eating drinking resting fun feasting and fellowship it is inevitably also a season of excessive spending And when everybody else is blowing their bonus on this seasonrsquos must-have gaming station the power of the herd mentality is prone to usurp logic The truth however is that December is no extraordinary month But for the extra bottles of bubbly and tender turkey the same set of fiscal commitments exist as in any other month ndash and January brings a whole new set of financial commitments which include potentially high cost items such as school uniforms school fees premium increases to name just a few
IT REALLY IS THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTSIn getting back to basics we hold within us the power to reclaim Christmas and breathe new life into old adages such as ldquoitrsquos the thought that countsrdquo Because it really is In returning to basics we provide ourselves the opportunity to teach our children the value of both time and money Whether we help our children plant herb pots spray-paint pine cones or sell home-made Christmas cakes we are gifted not only with precious experiences but with the opportunity to instruct our children in environmental care the benefits of recycling and the need to support local business
KEEP IT SIMPLEBefore we succumb to mall madness letrsquos rediscover the pleasure of Christmas in the simplest of things Letrsquos buy local visit craft markets and support small business Letrsquos fortify the art of recycling re-using and re-purposing goods for the benefit of all Letrsquos relieve each other of the pressure to spend compete and compare Letrsquos rediscover the satisfaction of small gifts given with great love because in the words of Winnie-the-Pooh ldquoSometimes the smallest things take up the most room in our heartsrdquo
The second best

PINELANDERS
In April this year three colleagues from the SKA Organisation in Manchester and I travelled to the Republic of Chile to visit the ALMA Radio Telescope ALMA stands for ldquoAtacama Large Millimetersubmillimeter Arrayrdquo It is composed of 66 high-precision antennas and is located on the Chajnantor plateau in Northern Chilersquos Atacama desert at an altitude of 5 000 metres The purpose of the trip was to learn as much as possible from the ALMA team Their experience regarding the integration and verification of such a large instrument will benefit the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) which is co-sited in the deserts of South Africa and Australia (see Muse Dec 2012Jan 2013)
THE CAPITAL ndash SANTIAGOWe arrived in Santiago the capital city of Chile after a ten-hour flight from Johannesburg to Sao Paulo and another four-and-a-half hour flight from Sao Paulo to Santiago With a population of nearly six million people Santiago is also the largest city in Chile Skyscrapers and unattractive apartment blocks cover the horizon but the city centre does have a peculiar
earthy charm ndash and many stray dogs The influence of the Roman Catholic Church is also evident with many beautiful churches decorated with exquisite ornaments and religious statues
SAN PEDRO DE ATACAMAFrom Santiago we flew to Calama in North-Eastern Chile followed by a one-hour bus ride to San Pedro de Atacama San Pedro de Atacama is a small town with only a few thousand inhabitants but it seemed to buzz with just as many tourists with one BampB located next to the other It is a charming town though and the hub for many tourists visiting the region I wished I had had more time to explore the surroundings and soon came to appreciate what brings so many tourists to the worldrsquos driest desert ndash Northern Chile has a majestic beauty that is different from any other place I have been to The mountains are gigantic dwarfing the Hottentots Holland mountains that we so admire when travelling towards Worcester from Cape Town Due to the mineral content of the soil (or so I have been told)
the mountains sometimes display shades of orange and purple and green adding to their grandeur And then there is the Licancabur Volcano which used to be a sacred place for the Inca Empire a place where the Incas would carry out religious ceremonies to worship the sun Laguna Chaxa a national reservation located at the heart of the Atacama salt pan is inhabited by three species of flamingos year-round Or you could join a ldquoTour Arqueologicordquo to learn more about the rich cultural inheritance The entire region soon reveals a mystique that is fascinating and makes you wish you could stay longer
THE THIN AIR AT ALMAThe ALMA Radio Telescope is equally impressive At an altitude of over 5 000 metres the relative lack of oxygen is a major concern apart from the extreme temperatures solar radiation and dry air I also experienced the unsettling feeling of having very little energy to perform any physical exercise feeling slightly light-headed and also developing a minor headache before returning to the
CHILE Deserts volcanoes earthquakes and more on the journey to see the ALMA Radio Telescope near San Pedro de Atacama - at an altitude where oxygen is scarce and UV radiation dangerously highBy Richard Lord
Ultraviolet radiation warning monitor at ALMA Operations Support Facility
Richard Lord in Santiago
Operations Support Facility (OSF) which is at a modest altitude of 2 440 metres But it was worth it A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to stand on top of the world and admire the human accomplishment of an international effort
THE IQUIQUE EARTHQUAKEThe cherry on the top of this extraordinary trip was my first-ever experience of an earthquake The 2014 Iquique earthquake
struck off the coast of Chile on 1 April with a moment magnitude of 82 It even triggered a tsunami of up to 211 metres that hit Iquique It wasnrsquot quite as dramatic at San Pedro de Atacama but nevertheless an unforgettable experience The earth was shaking for quite a long time maybe two minutes and even the locals said that it was the biggest earthquake they had witnessed for many years How perfect was the timing
of this trip The aftershocks during the next few days were equally exciting Except perhaps the aftershock that struck Santiago on my way back to South Africa Lying in my hotel bed on the 10th floor at midnight and suddenly hearing the entire building groan and squeak under the stresses of being shaken to and fro I had to admit that enough was enough and it was time to go home

FOOD FROM THE HEART
An offer for Muse readers ndash not to be missed
Recipe from Make five Maak vyfServes 8
The festive season is nearly upon us and has various connotations for everyone Some think of it as the time for giving some dream of snow-dusted streets warm crackling fires and mistletoe others think of twinkling lights and ribbons For me it is a season of sunshine swimming pools happy kids family meals and of coursehellip fresh berriesI believe that we eat with our eyes and nothing is more beautiful than these little gems from nature Strawberries cherries blackberries blueberries raspberries ndash all glowing with that rich colour Having berries around is the easiest way to make pretty food To make the most of the short berry season I add berries to many different meals Anything from a fruit salad at breakfast on crumpets as a quick snack added to
a refreshing drink and even a salad with chicken fish or pork I also add berries to quick desserts like vanilla ice cream and roasted nuts or to a crumble for added colour Then of course these sweet and juicy fruits seem to hold a special place on the South African festive table as the cherry on top of a light pavlovaThis pavlova from Make five is a little easier than most with a marshmallowy texture on the inside The combination of cregraveme fraicircche and Greek yoghurt is definitely a treat for this special time of year Although other fruit is just as delicious the berries add that beautiful festive colour and a refreshing break from a heavy pudding Sophia Loren said lsquoThe most indispensable ingredient of all good home cooking love for those you are cooking forrsquo Happy holidays and good cooking

BERRY PAVLOVA
Tis the season for berries
Tips1 Use any fruit such as figs pomegranate
seeds and grapes Seasonal fruit like nectarines are delicious with berries
2 When beating egg whites to stiff peaks use a stainless steel or glass mixing bowl not plastic The beaters and the bowl must be very clean and dry as a greasy residue will prevent the eggs from forming stiff peaks
3 Eggs that are kept at room temperature beat to a much higher volume than those from the fridge
4 Add the yolks to scrambled eggs or a fritatta

SURVIVING THE CHRISTMAS SPENDItrsquos starting to look like Christmas The malls are a maze of merriment and ablaze with bright baubles and as retailers fall over each other to sell you the fallacious promise that possessions are more valuable than experiences we ndash the consumer ndash are left dazed confused and all-too-often indebted As the season of excess approaches letrsquos gift ourselves a moment to plan how to survive the season without entering 2015 debt-laden and depressed It all starts with going back to basics
THE MEANING OF CHRISTMASYou donrsquot need to be Christian to appreciate the broader meaning of this season For many South Africans December is a time to take leave spend meaningful moments with family and friends and unwind It is a period of rest and rejuvenation A time of reflection and repose A season of giving celebrating and breaking bread together as we feast on fellowship How this beautiful season became so horrendously hi-jacked by the retail industry is a topic for another discussion but the challenge this Christmas is for each and every one of us to rediscover the beauty of Christmas free from the pressure to out-purchase the Potgieters
DOING WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPYResearch into consumer behaviour is unanimous ndash as humans we derive more joy from experiences than we do from purchasing material possessions In fact some research has found that consumers derive three times more pleasure from the anticipation of the purchase than from the actual act of purchasing ndash not least because they are plagued by buyerrsquos remorse and gut-wrenching guilt So if spending time with loved ones makes us happy and spending too much money makes us sad how is it that so many of us opt for the latter to the detriment of the former
MONEY MATTERS
Back to Basics
By Sue Torr Director at Crue Consulting
IT DOESNT NEED TO BE A TIME OF EXCESSThe answer is quite probably that as consumers we so easily become victims of over-stimulating retail environments and marketing messages that lead us to desert our very own value systems We are tempted to accept that in this season of excessive eating drinking resting fun feasting and fellowship it is inevitably also a season of excessive spending And when everybody else is blowing their bonus on this seasonrsquos must-have gaming station the power of the herd mentality is prone to usurp logic The truth however is that December is no extraordinary month But for the extra bottles of bubbly and tender turkey the same set of fiscal commitments exist as in any other month ndash and January brings a whole new set of financial commitments which include potentially high cost items such as school uniforms school fees premium increases to name just a few
IT REALLY IS THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTSIn getting back to basics we hold within us the power to reclaim Christmas and breathe new life into old adages such as ldquoitrsquos the thought that countsrdquo Because it really is In returning to basics we provide ourselves the opportunity to teach our children the value of both time and money Whether we help our children plant herb pots spray-paint pine cones or sell home-made Christmas cakes we are gifted not only with precious experiences but with the opportunity to instruct our children in environmental care the benefits of recycling and the need to support local business
KEEP IT SIMPLEBefore we succumb to mall madness letrsquos rediscover the pleasure of Christmas in the simplest of things Letrsquos buy local visit craft markets and support small business Letrsquos fortify the art of recycling re-using and re-purposing goods for the benefit of all Letrsquos relieve each other of the pressure to spend compete and compare Letrsquos rediscover the satisfaction of small gifts given with great love because in the words of Winnie-the-Pooh ldquoSometimes the smallest things take up the most room in our heartsrdquo
The second best

PINELANDERS
In April this year three colleagues from the SKA Organisation in Manchester and I travelled to the Republic of Chile to visit the ALMA Radio Telescope ALMA stands for ldquoAtacama Large Millimetersubmillimeter Arrayrdquo It is composed of 66 high-precision antennas and is located on the Chajnantor plateau in Northern Chilersquos Atacama desert at an altitude of 5 000 metres The purpose of the trip was to learn as much as possible from the ALMA team Their experience regarding the integration and verification of such a large instrument will benefit the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) which is co-sited in the deserts of South Africa and Australia (see Muse Dec 2012Jan 2013)
THE CAPITAL ndash SANTIAGOWe arrived in Santiago the capital city of Chile after a ten-hour flight from Johannesburg to Sao Paulo and another four-and-a-half hour flight from Sao Paulo to Santiago With a population of nearly six million people Santiago is also the largest city in Chile Skyscrapers and unattractive apartment blocks cover the horizon but the city centre does have a peculiar
earthy charm ndash and many stray dogs The influence of the Roman Catholic Church is also evident with many beautiful churches decorated with exquisite ornaments and religious statues
SAN PEDRO DE ATACAMAFrom Santiago we flew to Calama in North-Eastern Chile followed by a one-hour bus ride to San Pedro de Atacama San Pedro de Atacama is a small town with only a few thousand inhabitants but it seemed to buzz with just as many tourists with one BampB located next to the other It is a charming town though and the hub for many tourists visiting the region I wished I had had more time to explore the surroundings and soon came to appreciate what brings so many tourists to the worldrsquos driest desert ndash Northern Chile has a majestic beauty that is different from any other place I have been to The mountains are gigantic dwarfing the Hottentots Holland mountains that we so admire when travelling towards Worcester from Cape Town Due to the mineral content of the soil (or so I have been told)
the mountains sometimes display shades of orange and purple and green adding to their grandeur And then there is the Licancabur Volcano which used to be a sacred place for the Inca Empire a place where the Incas would carry out religious ceremonies to worship the sun Laguna Chaxa a national reservation located at the heart of the Atacama salt pan is inhabited by three species of flamingos year-round Or you could join a ldquoTour Arqueologicordquo to learn more about the rich cultural inheritance The entire region soon reveals a mystique that is fascinating and makes you wish you could stay longer
THE THIN AIR AT ALMAThe ALMA Radio Telescope is equally impressive At an altitude of over 5 000 metres the relative lack of oxygen is a major concern apart from the extreme temperatures solar radiation and dry air I also experienced the unsettling feeling of having very little energy to perform any physical exercise feeling slightly light-headed and also developing a minor headache before returning to the
CHILE Deserts volcanoes earthquakes and more on the journey to see the ALMA Radio Telescope near San Pedro de Atacama - at an altitude where oxygen is scarce and UV radiation dangerously highBy Richard Lord
Ultraviolet radiation warning monitor at ALMA Operations Support Facility
Richard Lord in Santiago
Operations Support Facility (OSF) which is at a modest altitude of 2 440 metres But it was worth it A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to stand on top of the world and admire the human accomplishment of an international effort
THE IQUIQUE EARTHQUAKEThe cherry on the top of this extraordinary trip was my first-ever experience of an earthquake The 2014 Iquique earthquake
struck off the coast of Chile on 1 April with a moment magnitude of 82 It even triggered a tsunami of up to 211 metres that hit Iquique It wasnrsquot quite as dramatic at San Pedro de Atacama but nevertheless an unforgettable experience The earth was shaking for quite a long time maybe two minutes and even the locals said that it was the biggest earthquake they had witnessed for many years How perfect was the timing
of this trip The aftershocks during the next few days were equally exciting Except perhaps the aftershock that struck Santiago on my way back to South Africa Lying in my hotel bed on the 10th floor at midnight and suddenly hearing the entire building groan and squeak under the stresses of being shaken to and fro I had to admit that enough was enough and it was time to go home

FOOD FROM THE HEART
An offer for Muse readers ndash not to be missed
Recipe from Make five Maak vyfServes 8
The festive season is nearly upon us and has various connotations for everyone Some think of it as the time for giving some dream of snow-dusted streets warm crackling fires and mistletoe others think of twinkling lights and ribbons For me it is a season of sunshine swimming pools happy kids family meals and of coursehellip fresh berriesI believe that we eat with our eyes and nothing is more beautiful than these little gems from nature Strawberries cherries blackberries blueberries raspberries ndash all glowing with that rich colour Having berries around is the easiest way to make pretty food To make the most of the short berry season I add berries to many different meals Anything from a fruit salad at breakfast on crumpets as a quick snack added to
a refreshing drink and even a salad with chicken fish or pork I also add berries to quick desserts like vanilla ice cream and roasted nuts or to a crumble for added colour Then of course these sweet and juicy fruits seem to hold a special place on the South African festive table as the cherry on top of a light pavlovaThis pavlova from Make five is a little easier than most with a marshmallowy texture on the inside The combination of cregraveme fraicircche and Greek yoghurt is definitely a treat for this special time of year Although other fruit is just as delicious the berries add that beautiful festive colour and a refreshing break from a heavy pudding Sophia Loren said lsquoThe most indispensable ingredient of all good home cooking love for those you are cooking forrsquo Happy holidays and good cooking

Tis the season for berries
Tips1 Use any fruit such as figs pomegranate
seeds and grapes Seasonal fruit like nectarines are delicious with berries
2 When beating egg whites to stiff peaks use a stainless steel or glass mixing bowl not plastic The beaters and the bowl must be very clean and dry as a greasy residue will prevent the eggs from forming stiff peaks
3 Eggs that are kept at room temperature beat to a much higher volume than those from the fridge
4 Add the yolks to scrambled eggs or a fritatta

PINELANDERS
In April this year three colleagues from the SKA Organisation in Manchester and I travelled to the Republic of Chile to visit the ALMA Radio Telescope ALMA stands for ldquoAtacama Large Millimetersubmillimeter Arrayrdquo It is composed of 66 high-precision antennas and is located on the Chajnantor plateau in Northern Chilersquos Atacama desert at an altitude of 5 000 metres The purpose of the trip was to learn as much as possible from the ALMA team Their experience regarding the integration and verification of such a large instrument will benefit the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) which is co-sited in the deserts of South Africa and Australia (see Muse Dec 2012Jan 2013)
THE CAPITAL ndash SANTIAGOWe arrived in Santiago the capital city of Chile after a ten-hour flight from Johannesburg to Sao Paulo and another four-and-a-half hour flight from Sao Paulo to Santiago With a population of nearly six million people Santiago is also the largest city in Chile Skyscrapers and unattractive apartment blocks cover the horizon but the city centre does have a peculiar
earthy charm ndash and many stray dogs The influence of the Roman Catholic Church is also evident with many beautiful churches decorated with exquisite ornaments and religious statues
SAN PEDRO DE ATACAMAFrom Santiago we flew to Calama in North-Eastern Chile followed by a one-hour bus ride to San Pedro de Atacama San Pedro de Atacama is a small town with only a few thousand inhabitants but it seemed to buzz with just as many tourists with one BampB located next to the other It is a charming town though and the hub for many tourists visiting the region I wished I had had more time to explore the surroundings and soon came to appreciate what brings so many tourists to the worldrsquos driest desert ndash Northern Chile has a majestic beauty that is different from any other place I have been to The mountains are gigantic dwarfing the Hottentots Holland mountains that we so admire when travelling towards Worcester from Cape Town Due to the mineral content of the soil (or so I have been told)
the mountains sometimes display shades of orange and purple and green adding to their grandeur And then there is the Licancabur Volcano which used to be a sacred place for the Inca Empire a place where the Incas would carry out religious ceremonies to worship the sun Laguna Chaxa a national reservation located at the heart of the Atacama salt pan is inhabited by three species of flamingos year-round Or you could join a ldquoTour Arqueologicordquo to learn more about the rich cultural inheritance The entire region soon reveals a mystique that is fascinating and makes you wish you could stay longer
THE THIN AIR AT ALMAThe ALMA Radio Telescope is equally impressive At an altitude of over 5 000 metres the relative lack of oxygen is a major concern apart from the extreme temperatures solar radiation and dry air I also experienced the unsettling feeling of having very little energy to perform any physical exercise feeling slightly light-headed and also developing a minor headache before returning to the
CHILE Deserts volcanoes earthquakes and more on the journey to see the ALMA Radio Telescope near San Pedro de Atacama - at an altitude where oxygen is scarce and UV radiation dangerously highBy Richard Lord
Ultraviolet radiation warning monitor at ALMA Operations Support Facility
Richard Lord in Santiago
Operations Support Facility (OSF) which is at a modest altitude of 2 440 metres But it was worth it A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to stand on top of the world and admire the human accomplishment of an international effort
THE IQUIQUE EARTHQUAKEThe cherry on the top of this extraordinary trip was my first-ever experience of an earthquake The 2014 Iquique earthquake
struck off the coast of Chile on 1 April with a moment magnitude of 82 It even triggered a tsunami of up to 211 metres that hit Iquique It wasnrsquot quite as dramatic at San Pedro de Atacama but nevertheless an unforgettable experience The earth was shaking for quite a long time maybe two minutes and even the locals said that it was the biggest earthquake they had witnessed for many years How perfect was the timing
of this trip The aftershocks during the next few days were equally exciting Except perhaps the aftershock that struck Santiago on my way back to South Africa Lying in my hotel bed on the 10th floor at midnight and suddenly hearing the entire building groan and squeak under the stresses of being shaken to and fro I had to admit that enough was enough and it was time to go home

FOOD FROM THE HEART
An offer for Muse readers ndash not to be missed
Recipe from Make five Maak vyfServes 8
The festive season is nearly upon us and has various connotations for everyone Some think of it as the time for giving some dream of snow-dusted streets warm crackling fires and mistletoe others think of twinkling lights and ribbons For me it is a season of sunshine swimming pools happy kids family meals and of coursehellip fresh berriesI believe that we eat with our eyes and nothing is more beautiful than these little gems from nature Strawberries cherries blackberries blueberries raspberries ndash all glowing with that rich colour Having berries around is the easiest way to make pretty food To make the most of the short berry season I add berries to many different meals Anything from a fruit salad at breakfast on crumpets as a quick snack added to
a refreshing drink and even a salad with chicken fish or pork I also add berries to quick desserts like vanilla ice cream and roasted nuts or to a crumble for added colour Then of course these sweet and juicy fruits seem to hold a special place on the South African festive table as the cherry on top of a light pavlovaThis pavlova from Make five is a little easier than most with a marshmallowy texture on the inside The combination of cregraveme fraicircche and Greek yoghurt is definitely a treat for this special time of year Although other fruit is just as delicious the berries add that beautiful festive colour and a refreshing break from a heavy pudding Sophia Loren said lsquoThe most indispensable ingredient of all good home cooking love for those you are cooking forrsquo Happy holidays and good cooking

BERRY PAVLOVA
Tis the season for berries
Tips1 Use any fruit such as figs pomegranate
seeds and grapes Seasonal fruit like nectarines are delicious with berries
2 When beating egg whites to stiff peaks use a stainless steel or glass mixing bowl not plastic The beaters and the bowl must be very clean and dry as a greasy residue will prevent the eggs from forming stiff peaks
3 Eggs that are kept at room temperature beat to a much higher volume than those from the fridge
4 Add the yolks to scrambled eggs or a fritatta

Operations Support Facility (OSF) which is at a modest altitude of 2 440 metres But it was worth it A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to stand on top of the world and admire the human accomplishment of an international effort
THE IQUIQUE EARTHQUAKEThe cherry on the top of this extraordinary trip was my first-ever experience of an earthquake The 2014 Iquique earthquake
struck off the coast of Chile on 1 April with a moment magnitude of 82 It even triggered a tsunami of up to 211 metres that hit Iquique It wasnrsquot quite as dramatic at San Pedro de Atacama but nevertheless an unforgettable experience The earth was shaking for quite a long time maybe two minutes and even the locals said that it was the biggest earthquake they had witnessed for many years How perfect was the timing
of this trip The aftershocks during the next few days were equally exciting Except perhaps the aftershock that struck Santiago on my way back to South Africa Lying in my hotel bed on the 10th floor at midnight and suddenly hearing the entire building groan and squeak under the stresses of being shaken to and fro I had to admit that enough was enough and it was time to go home

FOOD FROM THE HEART
An offer for Muse readers ndash not to be missed
Recipe from Make five Maak vyfServes 8
The festive season is nearly upon us and has various connotations for everyone Some think of it as the time for giving some dream of snow-dusted streets warm crackling fires and mistletoe others think of twinkling lights and ribbons For me it is a season of sunshine swimming pools happy kids family meals and of coursehellip fresh berriesI believe that we eat with our eyes and nothing is more beautiful than these little gems from nature Strawberries cherries blackberries blueberries raspberries ndash all glowing with that rich colour Having berries around is the easiest way to make pretty food To make the most of the short berry season I add berries to many different meals Anything from a fruit salad at breakfast on crumpets as a quick snack added to
a refreshing drink and even a salad with chicken fish or pork I also add berries to quick desserts like vanilla ice cream and roasted nuts or to a crumble for added colour Then of course these sweet and juicy fruits seem to hold a special place on the South African festive table as the cherry on top of a light pavlovaThis pavlova from Make five is a little easier than most with a marshmallowy texture on the inside The combination of cregraveme fraicircche and Greek yoghurt is definitely a treat for this special time of year Although other fruit is just as delicious the berries add that beautiful festive colour and a refreshing break from a heavy pudding Sophia Loren said lsquoThe most indispensable ingredient of all good home cooking love for those you are cooking forrsquo Happy holidays and good cooking

BERRY PAVLOVA
Tis the season for berries
Tips1 Use any fruit such as figs pomegranate
seeds and grapes Seasonal fruit like nectarines are delicious with berries
2 When beating egg whites to stiff peaks use a stainless steel or glass mixing bowl not plastic The beaters and the bowl must be very clean and dry as a greasy residue will prevent the eggs from forming stiff peaks
3 Eggs that are kept at room temperature beat to a much higher volume than those from the fridge
4 Add the yolks to scrambled eggs or a fritatta

FOOD FROM THE HEART
An offer for Muse readers ndash not to be missed
Recipe from Make five Maak vyfServes 8
The festive season is nearly upon us and has various connotations for everyone Some think of it as the time for giving some dream of snow-dusted streets warm crackling fires and mistletoe others think of twinkling lights and ribbons For me it is a season of sunshine swimming pools happy kids family meals and of coursehellip fresh berriesI believe that we eat with our eyes and nothing is more beautiful than these little gems from nature Strawberries cherries blackberries blueberries raspberries ndash all glowing with that rich colour Having berries around is the easiest way to make pretty food To make the most of the short berry season I add berries to many different meals Anything from a fruit salad at breakfast on crumpets as a quick snack added to
a refreshing drink and even a salad with chicken fish or pork I also add berries to quick desserts like vanilla ice cream and roasted nuts or to a crumble for added colour Then of course these sweet and juicy fruits seem to hold a special place on the South African festive table as the cherry on top of a light pavlovaThis pavlova from Make five is a little easier than most with a marshmallowy texture on the inside The combination of cregraveme fraicircche and Greek yoghurt is definitely a treat for this special time of year Although other fruit is just as delicious the berries add that beautiful festive colour and a refreshing break from a heavy pudding Sophia Loren said lsquoThe most indispensable ingredient of all good home cooking love for those you are cooking forrsquo Happy holidays and good cooking

BERRY PAVLOVA
Tis the season for berries
Tips1 Use any fruit such as figs pomegranate
seeds and grapes Seasonal fruit like nectarines are delicious with berries
2 When beating egg whites to stiff peaks use a stainless steel or glass mixing bowl not plastic The beaters and the bowl must be very clean and dry as a greasy residue will prevent the eggs from forming stiff peaks
3 Eggs that are kept at room temperature beat to a much higher volume than those from the fridge
4 Add the yolks to scrambled eggs or a fritatta

Recipe from Make five Maak vyfServes 8
The festive season is nearly upon us and has various connotations for everyone Some think of it as the time for giving some dream of snow-dusted streets warm crackling fires and mistletoe others think of twinkling lights and ribbons For me it is a season of sunshine swimming pools happy kids family meals and of coursehellip fresh berriesI believe that we eat with our eyes and nothing is more beautiful than these little gems from nature Strawberries cherries blackberries blueberries raspberries ndash all glowing with that rich colour Having berries around is the easiest way to make pretty food To make the most of the short berry season I add berries to many different meals Anything from a fruit salad at breakfast on crumpets as a quick snack added to
a refreshing drink and even a salad with chicken fish or pork I also add berries to quick desserts like vanilla ice cream and roasted nuts or to a crumble for added colour Then of course these sweet and juicy fruits seem to hold a special place on the South African festive table as the cherry on top of a light pavlovaThis pavlova from Make five is a little easier than most with a marshmallowy texture on the inside The combination of cregraveme fraicircche and Greek yoghurt is definitely a treat for this special time of year Although other fruit is just as delicious the berries add that beautiful festive colour and a refreshing break from a heavy pudding Sophia Loren said lsquoThe most indispensable ingredient of all good home cooking love for those you are cooking forrsquo Happy holidays and good cooking

Recipe from Make five Maak vyfServes 8
The festive season is nearly upon us and has various connotations for everyone Some think of it as the time for giving some dream of snow-dusted streets warm crackling fires and mistletoe others think of twinkling lights and ribbons For me it is a season of sunshine swimming pools happy kids family meals and of coursehellip fresh berriesI believe that we eat with our eyes and nothing is more beautiful than these little gems from nature Strawberries cherries blackberries blueberries raspberries ndash all glowing with that rich colour Having berries around is the easiest way to make pretty food To make the most of the short berry season I add berries to many different meals Anything from a fruit salad at breakfast on crumpets as a quick snack added to
a refreshing drink and even a salad with chicken fish or pork I also add berries to quick desserts like vanilla ice cream and roasted nuts or to a crumble for added colour Then of course these sweet and juicy fruits seem to hold a special place on the South African festive table as the cherry on top of a light pavlovaThis pavlova from Make five is a little easier than most with a marshmallowy texture on the inside The combination of cregraveme fraicircche and Greek yoghurt is definitely a treat for this special time of year Although other fruit is just as delicious the berries add that beautiful festive colour and a refreshing break from a heavy pudding Sophia Loren said lsquoThe most indispensable ingredient of all good home cooking love for those you are cooking forrsquo Happy holidays and good cooking

Tis the season for berries
Tips1 Use any fruit such as figs pomegranate
seeds and grapes Seasonal fruit like nectarines are delicious with berries
2 When beating egg whites to stiff peaks use a stainless steel or glass mixing bowl not plastic The beaters and the bowl must be very clean and dry as a greasy residue will prevent the eggs from forming stiff peaks
3 Eggs that are kept at room temperature beat to a much higher volume than those from the fridge
4 Add the yolks to scrambled eggs or a fritatta
