Welcome to our first Autumn issue. The cover was designed the purpose of

creativity and to bring a clean, fresh feel. The idea is more of an experiment and I’m happy the results were visually pleasing.

our magazine has grown and has been inspired by everything that is around us, things and objects we see everyday weath-er visually or physically. On this issue I had to look at other aspects besides design.

I must say gathering all the research and editing as well as designing the layout was not an easy task; I struggled at first with the design structure until I under-stood my layout. It’s always a good feeling seen your finished work, that is the feeling I felt when we printed the magazine out.

After the completion I remembered what my high school teacher would always say to me “understand were you come from in either to embrace new beginnings” I know after reading the magazine, readers will find the information very much useful.

Thanks to some of these power tools we able to send detailed information around the world in just few seconds, and as for designers you can design anything any-where, it doesn’t require you to be in you studio, but you can also do it at a park.

rather a young woman who exceeds expectation and has embarked on a courageous journey to be the solitary and independent yet extraordinary woman.

like wise its a lesson for her,since then she grew strength to strength and affiliated herself with various ventures like,mags,billboards as well as music videos. It sound as though linda Mash has never failed herself,inspired by the passion she has for music and molding music to whatever category she blends into makes her a “one of a kind” individual.

linda truly is a definition of “a life for perfect days”. the choice to follow our heart and do what we truly want in life, can be a challenging one. It shouldn’t be, but it is. It requires courage, commitment, inner strength and fearlessness, and as a result it is a path that is often not pursued. Rather than listening to that deep inner yearning to do

the Smackdown : Beer vs. wine

Theeobviouschoice?BEER,ifyou’re trying to drop down a few kilos and are watching out your kilojoules, order light beer instead of wine. Most light brews have fewer kilojoules than wine (390kj on average, per 340ml bottle vs. about 520kj for a 15ml glass of wine). Plus light beer contains roughly two and half times more than water than wine does, which will help you fell a whole lot more full-and less included to abuse SnACKS.

CHATTED ACCOUNTANT WHO FELL IN LOVE WITH

Put an end to ordinary day, that stressful job, or the screaming kids! throw away all your inhibitions and let us take you on a dream-filled, inspirational journey we like to call “For the love of Art”

Soweto born and raised MJ Matlala is one of the most self-motivated individuals to live. He adores art in varieties, although from a young age MJ has a passion for cooperate world. From the 9th grade, up to his matric he had the desire to be a Chatted Accountant, but like most dreams come across, that venture was hindered by a variety of situations. In 2007 he was a student at uJ (university of Johannesburg), finally studying towards a tangible dream of being a Chatted Accountant, yet lack enthusiasm behind that diverted to arts.

ART

lIFeStYle

Inspired by diversity in Soweto, whether you’ve never put brush to canvas or you’re an

accomplished artist, you will have an amazing time creating a custom work of art. MJ’s inspiration was drawn from a variation of qualities within individuals who have established themselves “he adds”. Re winding to a year before MJ enrolled at uJ, he took an interest in the performing arts, yes a year later in 2007 he riled in his fist gig. this was at summer training camp where he collaborated with someone, from here he grew strength and courage to his first public performance at the Soweto theatre.

His heart does not only lie within the arts. MJ hopes to build a bridge be-tween the young and the old, thus initiated on Project Motivate. this is to help the youth through daily struggles, and also help prepare them through daily encounters the youth faces, paving a new path to be best achievers in life.

“Overall MJ is quiet a

versatile artist”overall MJ is quiet a versatile artist, his experience will leave you with a one-of-a-kind masterpiece, an awak-ening of your creative soul, and a new-found talent that will leave you wanting more. From performing arts, photography and designing he sure is on an artistic journey, MJ also writes poems but expanded his

writing to motivate which transpired him to being a life coach and he is involved in a Campus Ministry at uJ.Although MJ faced a whole lot of obstacles from 2007-2010, he persisted to be the best individual any parent would be proud of and a definite inspiration to the youth.

Faith can also be based on proof. For instance Kedibone Padi, oppressed by her struggles and have her childhood be snatched away from her grasp, to be amongst the statistics of teenage pregnancy.

through all that she persisted to carry on and neglect all her struggles and divert to a successful life. She is a true definition of what Faith is and that it pre- exist amongst us. nothing is impossible until its done. But In this article we suggest that the critical factor is belief. Belief is ultimately what determines how successful an individual can be.

Personality:obviouslyno one hold the same beliefs. our fundamental personality has tremendous impact on the beliefs that we assume through our formative years and how we view the world in general.

Familyandrolemodels:there is no question that our environment plays a significant role in who we become in our families and role models send powerful messages because the foundation of many of our beliefs into adulthood. Spiritual foundation also has an influence prior to our beliefs and around faith, destiny and god have a tremendous influence on the choices we each make about work throughout our lives. this might include traditional religious values that we learn as children.

known as “KIdI”. this is one extraor-dinary woman who exceeded expec-tation and made courageous moves to be one of Mapetla easts growing successors. Born on the 31st of July 1978 at Phiri, Soweto, Kidibone was just a minor 17 year old when she matriculated. A young woman who was eager to pursue a career doc-torate but rather pulled the roots of business. every success begins

somewhere, so in 2003 she enrolled in a beauty school intuition. It was never smooth sailing though, at just 19 years of age “KIdI” became a statistic of teenage pregnancy, bound and leashed in marriage. that never deprived her of her success but motivated her and persisted to do better. She drew

Inspiration from her grandmother who used to sell (fat cakes) at Braamfontien to be able to mend for herself. either that she was exposed to business criteria of the family.

Raised by a single parent amongst eight other siblings gave her the courage to be able to mold herself to be a successful individual she is today. A woman truly with many tal-ents today owns a catering compa-ny, salon and is a counselor affiliated with the spiritual wellbeing of an individual.

we all got through humps and bumps that may hinder our paths to success, nhlanhla ndlovus momentum was set to a setback when their formal soccer field was demolished. this meant that him and his team had to walk down the road passing through a congested main road used by taxis and vehicles that could danger the children as they walk to and from the soccer field. the only true disappointment is the accessibility of their own soccer field. what makes the demolished soccer field so memorable is the people behind it.

the likes of players like thuso Phala and tumelo “donna t” Mopedi, a young potential player based in Mpumalanga who plays for Black Aces , these where players that were groomed from Mapetla Young Professionals under the management of “thotHo” (nhlanhla ndlovu).

doing thee best at the moment puts you in the best possible place for the next moment. His is to reach out to the community @large, lets us help these young up and coming successors individually discover their talents. the soccer r field can never manifest itself when a passionate coach like “thotho” ndlovu dedicate himself to help out tomorrow’s young successors.

It is dedicated to living green and contains sources for the eco-conscious including ways to save energy and money amongst

other things. eco-Buzz’s mission is to connect, highlight and encourage a variety of communities on how to sustain healthy environmental conditions to reduce the harmful effects of global warming as well as pollution amongst a vast area of communities. All this can be accomplished by conducting fun things to do to encourage the youth to engage in sustaining healthy living in our communities.

A GUIDELINE

TO

LIVING GREEN

the successful key to implement being eco-conscious is to initiate and create meaningful environmental change is to get support from a wide range of individuals. It entirely starts with you, yet it takes a large position of individuals to be able to convey the message of a eco-conscious perception. there are a whole lot of go gReen initiative associations in order to access tools. the primary step to building a go gReen teAM is at least having a representative for every sector within various commu-nities.

Getting Started Adapting to climate change

why do we need to adapt to climate change?there will be inevitable impacts from climate change despite global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Africa is one of the most vulnerable continents to climate change. this situation is further worsened by its poor state of the economic develop-ment and low adaptive capacity.

extreme poverty, frequent natural disasters such as droughts, floods and heavy dependents of agriculture on rainfall further increases the con-tinents vulnerability. All the regions of the world will be impacted by cli-mate change; however the nature of impacts and associated vulnerability will vary geographically depending on exposure of development status-es across regions and their ability to respond and adapt to the livelihood of changes in the climate.

A process to change materials (waste materials) into new products to prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce energy usage, reduce air pollution as well as water pollution (lAndFIllIng) by reducing the need for “environmental” waste lower greenhouse gas emissions as compared to plastic production. Recycling is a key component of modern waste reduction and is the third component of the “Reduce,

Reuse, and Recycle” waste hierarchy.

Recyclable materials include many kinds of glass, paper, textiles and electronics. Although similar in effect, the composting or other refuse or biodegradable waste- such as food or garden waste- is not typically considered recycling. Materials to be recycled are either brought to a collection center or picked up from the curbside, sorted, then cleaned and processed into new materials bound for manufacturing.

Chasing his own American dream, nick lands next door to a mysterious, party-giving millionaire, Jay gatsby (leonardo diCaprio).

SPEED?

In complete contrast to the highway behavior, the sound generated by the inline-six at or near full throttle couldn’t be more pleasing. despite a turbocharger, this six-cylinder sounds richer than many V-8s. the slightly stiff suspension is at home hustling down corner-filled back roads.

the 135is feels like the best e90 3-Series and more. Its tidy dimen-sions and short wheelbase-5.9 fewer inches than that of the current 3335-pound curb weight. Hydraulic steering that’s heftier than anything in recent memory harks back to before the time of handwringing over efficiency, with a genuine connection to the road and useful, minimally amplified feedback. It isn’t a significantly better handler than a

135i; it just sounds so much better in the process.the fact that our 135is test car was painted le Mans Blue and featured blue contrast stitching on the inte-rior might have sparked memories of the white House’s most famous intern. Serving what amounts to a one-year internship in the 1-series

2013 Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG

BRINGING SEXY BACK!2013 Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG

Can a 621- hp car with 738 lB-Ft of torque get outrun by a nearly identical model that’s down 58 po-niesand74LB-FT?Because“near-ly” means they’re equipped with different transmissions and “iden-tical” means they roll on the same size tires. the Cl65’s five speed automatic has wider gear ratios than does the seven-speed in the Cl63, but the real killer feature of the Cl63’s multi-clutch transmission is launch control, which is absent on the Cl65. And both monster motors

are stymied in trying to put all that power down by their 275/35ZR-20 rear tires, making the superior output of the big V-12 as useful as a white crayon.After you got over the traction limita-tions and a bit of lag at throttle tip-in, theV-12 accelerates like a meteor falling to earth. Its exhaust doesn’t bark as the V-8’s does and less of its noise enter the cabin, but the sound is like an avalanche. the steering is direct and appropriately weighted for the big car, and Mercedes’ active

suspension system allows the Cl65 to corner flat while remaining entire-ly comfortable. with 54 percent of its 4876-pound weight sitting over the front axle, the ability to induce instant over steer with the throttle is useful. Should you attempt to use Cl65 as the world‘s most expensive drift machine, however, the stability control will interrupt the fun even if you’ve switched it off.

After all, this isn’t a car for hooligans and ruffians, although we imagine some of them might have picked up nicely depreciated examples on the used market. Indeed, in its seventh model year, the Cl65 AMg is not long for this world. Soon to be replaced by a coupe version of the forthcoming 2014S-Class, for at least another model year the Cl65 will re-main the priciest and most powerful Mercedes four-seated, even if it’s not even the fastest Cl get a Quote Prices from a local dealer

dear ladyYour Royal Highness,A lady amongst many,warrior Queen,lend me ears for second or two,I need to say this!You are beautiful in and out timeBut no!I don’t mean your skin and attire but you!You are beautiful!I love your heart to abandon yourself to start a family, your strength to carry nations in your womb,Your perseverance through pains of failed relationships,Your ability to nurture all that you touch,Your eye for beauty,Your ear that listens with an open heart,Your nose to sniff out troubled hearts, Your feet to walk long tough miles of life,Your forgiveness when all seems lost,Your tears when hurting,Your patience to be approached by a man,Your incubating spirit to be with a man, who seemingly has nothing,no! You don’t belong in the kitchen but no one can do it like you! the warmth of a house nurtured by your hands,the healing taste in the food made by you in love,Floors mopped by you turn our house at a home,I dream of nations in beds prepared by you,the bubbles baths you run for me heal my soul,the clothes you sew dress my weeping heart,Your hand is a natural potter.

women, don’t give up on femininity, it hurts to see you try so hard!I know you can do it but I’d rather you didn’t! don’t let the pain harden you, don’t let it destroy you!If you wore long skirts I’d be taken by beauty in your eyes,the strength in your soul,Your quiet spirit,And you’re Proverb 31 beaming character!You are a beacon of hope, don’t let pain harden you!I can never do justice to define all you are But the mere surface that scratched brings me to tears!women are strong!women are powerful!You keep going!You put up with the most bizarre situations!If we dare take advantage then we face an opponent called Father,when we destroy the beauty in women we make the world cold!She is not just flesh,She is a friend!She is not just a cook,She needs love!She is not just a trophy,She needs a reputable wall unit to be displayed well!Her emotions need a man to anchor her in harbors of undying loVe!dear women, I repent for small sizing you!I repent for objectifying you!I repent for trampling on your emotions for my benefit!But dear womanI ask again,Please don’t give up on femininity!let go of the pain and release her!nations need her!
