Anglo Gold And ECDoE Hold A Career Expo For Grade 12 Learners

You Need Posted on by

On the 15 May 2017, Eastern Cape Department of Education (ECDoE) in partnership with Anglo Gold Ashanti and OR ThamboMunicipality hosted a very successful Career Expo for Grade 12 learners, at Mthatha Airport.

Nathi May, MC for the Career Expo, from Anglo Gold Ashanti posed a few thought provoking questions to the learners at the start of the event, “At the end of the year what is going to happen to you?  How many of you know what you really want to do next year?” May went on to say, “It has been roughly 2400 days that you have spent at school in the last 12 years, but what you decide to study will play a huge role in your future, so chose wisely.”

Learners were given some career guidance on how to decide on a career path. 
These consisted of 9 steps and are as follows:

Step 1:Begin by determining what you like to do.

Step 2:  Identify the skills you use when you are doing the things you enjoy.

Step 3:  Think of fields broadly.

Step4:  Consider cross field work.

Step 5:  Learn about the qualifications required for the fields that interest you.

Step 6:  Find people who work in the field and learn from them.

Step 7:  Evaluate your choice of field according to your own perception.

Step 8:  Sign up for an educational or training programme in the career of your choice.

Step 9:  Keep positive.

Sheena Pillay from Anglo Gold Ashanti, explained with experience to learners what options they have, and the alternative options that they might have to take, “We are a mining company and we care about you, we have the responsibility to uplift communities, and the most sustainable thing that we can give you is education.” Pillay emphasised the importance of the English language, she also spoke about the bursaries that Anglo Gold Ashanti have to offer and will be advertised in the newspapers later in this year, where learners can apply.

Learners then had the opportunity to go to the expo room, where different institutions and academy’s, had different information on displayed.  There learners asked questions, interacted and some filled in paper work on enquiries of their chosen careers.

Overall the Career Expo was a success and reached a large number of learners.  For learners that never attended you may go onto www.careerorg.co.za and get career information there or alternatively you can also go onto www.anglogoldashanti.com/careers.

Platinum Stars, Mouloudia Alger share spoils in opening CAF Confed Cup group stage match

You Need Posted on by

The 19-year-old Khonou has only played once before for Stars in the earlier rounds of the competition and is yet to make his Premier Soccer League debut. But his cracking effort in the 43rd minute at the Royal Bafokeng Sports Palace on Sunday heightened his credentials as Stars came from a goal down to share the spoils with their north African opponents.

With ambitions still of a top eight finish in the league, and an eye on the game against Kaizer Chiefs at home on Wednesday, Stars coach Cavin Johnson rested almost all his regulars and handed opportunity to some of the talent that the club have been nurturing over the last season.

Almost immediately it looked a decision that Stars, if they have any real ambition of going further in this competition might come to regret, as Mouloudia were 1-0 up after just seven minutes.

A standard corner was poorly defended by Stars who, in spite of three players in position, failed to stop Brahim Boudebouda heading home past Steven Hoffman.

But that was all that the physically imposing Algerians had to offer in the first half as Stars’ youthful charges began in grow in confidence.

Robert Ngambi, one of only four regulars asked to start, did not have enough power after a clever one-two with Benson Shilongo, who then had a chance of his own by skyed wildly with a shot from a tight angle that showed a lack of decision making.

The 18-year-old Neo Links them made a strong run on goal but also had a rush of blood to the head and shot well wide.

But he should have been awarded a penalty in the 38th minute when he hacked down on the penalty area line. Instead, the Kenyan referee Peter Waweru gave a free kick which Links hit into the wall and Solomon Mathe failed to react quickest to when the rebound fell invitingly for him.

Khunou’s equaliser just before the break suggested Stars youthful line-up could go on and beat the Algerians, who are second in their own league championship  but far from an impressive looking team.

But instead Stars began to run out of steam and the Algerians took command.

Hoffman made two key saves, one at point blank range from Abdelghani Demmou as the visitors continued to look dangerous at set pieces.

Mouloudia also had a legitimate penalty appeal after a clumsy challenge from Thuto Mphahlele but again the Kenyan referee appeared to be scared to make the call.

In the last minute Stars’ substitute Bongi Ntuli might have won the game but his close range header went wide. He got booked straight after and now misses Stars’ next game in Group B in Swaziland on May 24. – TMG Digital/ Sport

Do Diet and Exercise Really Make You Fat? Experts Respond to the TED Talk People Are Buzzing About 

You Need Posted on by

In his recent TEDx Talk, Jay Cardiello argued that when it comes to our health, we’ve got it all wrong: “Diet and exercise makes you fat,” the strength and conditioning coach told the audience. And the health and fitness industry? “It’s a complete lie.”

Cardiello, who has trained both professional athletes and stars like Sofia Vergara and Jennifer Lopez, went on to highlight the misconceptions the industry creates. Dietitians who devise complicated weight-loss strategies (“they swap this food for that food, you eat this, don’t eat this”) are confusing people, he said. Labels like “all natural” and “gluten-free” on packaged foods are designed to trick us. And wellness brands are out to profit from our health problems.

Take fads like juice cleanses, for example. They leave people undernourished and fatigued, not fit. “The industry plays upon our emotions,” Cardiello said.

Health’s contributing nutrition editor Cynthia Sass, RD, MPH, agrees with some of Cardiello’s grievances. She says it’s important that consumers be skeptical of products and plans that aren’t backed by science. But calling the entire industry a farce isn’t fair either.

“There are many qualified nutrition and fitness practitioners that are motivated by helping people live healthier lives,” Sass says. As for food labels, Sass agrees they can be misleading: “Gluten-free” doesn’t automatically make a food healthy, for example. “Gluten-free foods can contain refined grains like white rice, added sugars, and lack nutrients.”

“But not every food labeled ‘gluten-free’ falls into this category,” she adds.

There is one diet plan that Cardiello does recommend: “Eat as if you have one day to live, or there’s a health scare.” In his TEDx talk, Cardiello made the case that staying healthy is simple as long as we get enough sleep, drink water, eat vegetables, surround ourselves with people that believe in us, and give to others.

And fitness isn’t about push-ups and squats, Cardiello adds. “It’s about the quality of life that you’re living.” 

Los Angeles-based celebrity trainer Mike Donavanik is only half on-board with that notion: “I agree that everyone strives for a better quality of life—but doing exercises like push-ups and squats is what will give you that,” he says. 

Cardiello goes so far to say “the answer to fitness is walking”—a claim Donavanik strongly disagrees with. “Walking is not going to be enough,” the trainer told Health. “If you want more out of life, you have to work out hard and put in the effort,” he says. “There’s just no way around it.”

Avocado Toad-in-a-Hole With Ham and Salsa Verde

You Need Posted on by

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces tomatillos, husked, rinsed, and quartered
  • 1 small yellow or white onion, quartered
  • 2 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 1 medium jalapeño, halved, seeds removed
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from about 2 limes)
  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 3/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 6 ounces diced baked ham

Preparation

1. Preheat broiler with oven rack 6 inches from heat. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with aluminum foil. Spread tomatillos, onion, garlic, and jalapeño on 1 prepared baking sheet. Broil until blistered and lightly charred, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove from oven and let cool for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 425°F.

2. Process charred vegetables, lime juice, and 1/4 cup of the cilantro in a food processor until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and stir in 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Chill until ready to use.

3. Cut each avocado in half; remove and discard pits. (To keep avocados level, slice about 1/4 inch from the back of avocado halves so they sit flat.) Enlarge the hole by scooping 1/8 to 1/4 inch of flesh from around the hole. (Save the scooped avocado flesh for another use.) Sprinkle avocados with pepper and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt; place on second prepared baking sheet.

4. Bake at 425°F until no residual moisture remains in the hole, about 8 minutes. Remove from oven. Working with 1 egg at a time, break eggs into a bowl and, using the eggshell, scoop 1 yolk into each hot avocado half. Add enough egg whites to fill hole completely. (Discard remaining egg whites.) Cover avocados with foil and return to oven. Bake until egg whites are set and yolks are runny, about 5 minutes.

5. Meanwhile, heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat and add oil and diced ham; cook until ham is browned and edges are crispy, about 4 minutes. Sprinkle avocado halves with the crispy ham and remaining chopped cilantro. Serve with salsa verde.
