Background Olievenhoutbosch is a township, strategically placed in the south of Tshwane (Pretoria) as one of its development areas. The township was established in 1998. What began as a squatter’s camp with shacks is now slowly replaced by an urban area with RDP houses built by government. Olievenhoutbosch is a poverty-stricken community faced with crime, unemployment, lack of education, domestic violence, HIV/AIDS and other social ills. According to Statistics S.A., South Africa has 5.3 million people already infected with HIV, making it the country with the most HIV-positive individuals in the world. 2. Projects in Olievenhoutbosch a. Olievenhoutbosch Christian School OCS is situated in the Olievenhoutbosch community; a community greatly challenged with poverty, over-population, unemployment and abuse. Several children travel for more than an hour every day to attend a local school. Local schools have an average of 60 learners per class. Consequently, the need for quality education in the local community is very high. Inspired by the situation, Church Without Walls (KSM) in Centurion wanted to help the children in the community through providing quality education within the community. As a result OCS was started in 2004. During that time there were no classrooms available and learners were taught in a tent. Since that then 8 Wendy houses (which are used for classrooms, a library and a kitchen) were put up as well as 4 proper classrooms. Currently OCS is the only English medium school in the area – addressing the vast numbers of learners who wants to be taught in English. OCS also offers remedial teaching for learners with special educational needs. OCS’ mission is to provide quality foundation phase Christian education. In addition they are also trying to meet the needs of the very poor families in the school through providing food and clothing. 3 | Page www.experiencemission.org b. Trust Hope Faith After School THF After School provides underprivileged learners a fair chance to develop their talents and leadership potential by introducing them to a relationship with Jesus Christ and by helping them with their schoolwork in an atmosphere filled with hope and encouragement. This took place in an afterschool centre where they will receive lunch, academic support and sport coaching. Many children attending the OCS do not have a wholesome home environment to return to after school. This could be as a result of parents working, parents trying to find work, a single parent who is too busy to look after a primary school child, or a home environment that is not conducive for a child to be unnecessarily exposed to. The result is that these children are left to their own resources and often spend the time roaming the streets. THF has created an infrastructure to assist in alleviating the trauma that these children may be exposed to. In so doing, the following aspects of caring for these children are addressed. • THF provides a balanced nutritional meal for each child after completing his/her classes for the day. • THF provides assistance and supervision with the homework given to the children. • THF provides training in cultural activities, such as art classes, music and singing. • THF provides wholesome religious education. Structure, internationally recognized programs such as KidzGames and Kids@Heart are used to accomplish this activity. • THF provides training in basic computer literacy. • THF provides birthday parties for the children attending aftercare. • THF distributes a variety of items to children and families in need. This includes food, clothing, furniture, sport goods, educational material and blankets. c. Trust Hope Faith Feeding Scheme THF Feeding Scheme provides food to a multitude of people in need of nutrition. These include: • The children at the Olievenhoutbosch Christian School attending the Aftercare Centre • The elderly at the Olievenhoutbosch Old Age Home • Members of the Olievenhoutbosch Disabled Organisation • Children at the Princess Nursery School • Children at the KeArabetswe Nursery School d. Trust Hope Faith Education Activities THF provides training in organized sport to the Aftercare Centre children as well as to community children. In doing so, older teenagers, or suitable persons are trained in the coaching of the smaller children. The children are taught to participate in team sports. Matches are then arranged against similar teams in the district. 4 | Page www.experiencemission.org e. Trust Hope Faith Youth development In association with the Steve Tshwete Secondary School and its staff, THF assists struggling and traumatized high school learners to cope with life in general. Learners are often the victims of unstable, motherless, fatherless, parentless, abusive home situations. Because of this, they had failed their grades numerous times and are now faced with expulsion from school as a result of not performing up to standard which causes a lack of confidence in the future. This is often not caused by the lack of intelligence or understanding, but by virtue of their circumstances. In these situations they require counseling, mentorship, and in some cases, just a means of getting away from it all. They need support, love, guidance and motivation. 3. Other projects Other projects include:- • Olievenhoutbosch Centre for the Disabled. • Olievenhoutbosch Support for the Elderly: Home based Care & Treatment of the chronically ill. • Skills development for the elderly. • Home for abused children and orphans due to HIV/AIDS. • HIV/AIDS support group and home base care • Bokamosa Bakery • Dimponyana Nursery • Kids Paradise Nursery and Pre-school • Job creation initiatives: Perfume and candle manufacturing, vegetable gardens, etc. 4. Additional information • Visiting teams will do outreaches in Olievenhoutbosch area. • Olievenhoutbosch is situated within an one hour drive from OR Tambo Airport. • Visiting teams will stay at the beautiful Emseni Conference Centre. Sleep 2 per room. Fully stocked tuck shop available • Visits to Olievenhoutbosch will cost approximately $100-140 per day per person. (The cost will depend on size of the group and the Rand/dollar currency). The amount includes: o Accommodation : 2 people per room. En suite bathroom with toilet, shower and wash basin o 3 x meals per day o Bottled water o Cutlery o Transport o Bedding o Outreaches to communities o Attending Sunday services in local congregations o Sightseeing such as the Pretoria Zoological Gardens, Hartbeespoortdam and Gold Reef City. 5 | Page www.experiencemission.org i. The Pretoria Zoological gardens i. The Pretoria Zoo has been rated as one of the best zoos in the world and enjoys National status as the National Zoological Gardens. The zoo features many exotic and African animal exhibitions in diverse environments that include a lake with hippos, a reptile house and an aquarium, as well as integrated function facilities and lapas. The 85-hectare zoo features 3120 mammals from 209 species, 1360 birds from 202 species, 3870 fish specimens from 190 fish species, as well as many invertebrates, reptile and amphibian species. ii. Hartbeespoortdam i. Roughly 45 minutes' drive from Johannesburg and Pretoria, surrounded by the beautiful Magaliesberg mountain range, Hartbeespoort Dam, or Harties to locals, has become a hive of activity and is a very popular weekend getaway for the two cities. The beauty of Hartbeespoort Dam is what draws people here - the dam literally cradled in the lap of the mountains - and many regard this as a retreat from the concrete jungle of city living. The 1620 hectare Hartbeespoort Dam functions both as a source of irrigation for farms in the area and as a resort, and the peace of the hills and valleys, the warmth even on winter days and the charm of the surrounding countryside, make this a place to restore the soul. The Hartbeespoort Dam offers an array of water sports, a local bird sanctuary, challenging hikes and gentle rambles. There is a collection of restaurants in Hartbeespoort that range from Tan' Malie se Winkle, a local institution where you can eat to your heart's content on traditional Afrikaans home-cooked meals, to the local Pick-a-Pancake, which takes pancakes into a new league. This restaurant lies literally in the heart of the Welwitschia Market - a range of African arts, crafts, novelties, curios and other at the fourway crossing at Hartbeespoort that makes a visit here imperative. iii. Gold Reef City i. Gold Reef City is a large amusement park in Johannesburg, South Africa. Located on an old gold mine, the park is themed around the gold rush on the Witwatersrand. Park staff wears period costumes of the 1880s, and the buildings on the park are designed to mimic the same period. There is a museum dedicated to gold mining on the grounds where it is possible to see a gold-containing ore vein and see how real gold is poured into barrels. There are many attractions at Gold Reef City, not the least of which are water rides and roller coasters. - Anaconda. This is the only inverted roller coaster in the world built by the coaster design company Giovanola, and is currently the record holder for the fastest and tallest inverted roller coaster in Africa. - River Rapids - Jozi Express, which is a high-speed roller coaster built and manufactured by the German amusement park ride manufacturer Zierer. 6 | Page www.experiencemission.org - Tower of Terror (also known as the Shaft of Terror). This roller coaster was originally designed by Swiss designer Ronald Bussink, manufactured by local companies, and built by the park themselves.

  • Chessington World of Adventures Guide
    Chessington World of Adventures Guide Overview One of three theme parks located in Greater London that are operated by Merlin Entertainments Group, Chessington World of Adventures combines a host of rides and shows with a world-class zoo. Whereas nearby LEGOLAND Windsor is aimed at families with kids aged 2-12, and Thorpe Park caters for teens and young adults, Chessington offers something for just about every age group. In addition to the theme park and zoo, the site is also home to the Holiday Inn Chessington, a safari-themed hotel that overlooks the Wanyama Village & Reserve area. History The origins of Chessington World of Adventures can be traced back to 1931, when a new zoo was established in the grounds of a fourteenth century country mansion by entrepreneur Reginald Goddard. The zoo was eventually acquired by the Pearsons Group in 1978, which subsequently merged with the Madame Tussauds chain to form The Tussauds Group. The newly-formed company embarked on an ambitious £12 million project to build a theme park on the site, and Chessington World of Adventures opened to the public in 1987.

  • ACE's Scandinavian Sojourn
    ACE’s Scandinavian Sojourn : A Southerner’s Perspective Story by: Richard Bostic, assisted by Ronny Cook When I went on the ACEspana trip back in 2009, it was by far one of the most amazing vacations I have ever experienced. In addition to getting to visit parks in a different culture than we see here, it is also a great opportunity to spend time with fellow enthusiasts and grow friendships while enjoying our common interests. When Scandinavia Sojourn was announced for the summer of 2011, I knew it was a trip I could not miss. Since the 2009 trip was my first trip to Europe I thought that there was no way the over- all experience could be better in Scandinavia. I was wrong. We landed in Helsinki, Finland around 1300 the day before we were required to be at the hotel to meet with the group. Helsinki is an interesting city and fairly new compared to many cities in Europe. Walking around the city you can see the Russian influence in the city’s architecture. In fact, many movies during the cold war would use Helsinki to shoot scenes that are supposed to be set in the Soviet Union. After making our way to the Crowne Plaza Hotel and getting a quick lunch at the hotel restaurant we decided to spend the remaining time that afternoon checking out some of the sites around our hotel. Some of these sites included the Temppeliaukio Church inside of a rock formation, the train station, Routatientori Square and National Theater, and a couple of the city’s art museums.

  • Does It Have Fur Or Feathers? a Categorisation of Theme Park Attractions
    Does it have fur or feathers? A Categorisation of Theme Park Attractions Author: Frank Cornelissen Author ANR: U0396714 Supervisor: Pieter Cornelis 2nd Reader: Greg Richards Date: August 17th, 2010 Tilburg University Tilburg School of Social and Behavioural Sciences Department of Leisure Studies Preface & Acknowledgements One should think that the concept of ‘once bitten, twice shy’ would apply after finishing my bachelor thesis, yet a little over four months ago I once again found myself at the beginning of what then seemed an impossible task. The goal? To devise an empirically founded categorisation of theme park attractions. That task may seem simply at first, but when looking at attractions in the likes of, to name but a few, Tower of Terror, Hocus Pocus Hall, The Flying Dutchman, Lisebergtower, Hex or Dragon Khan, it will seen become apparent that each and every of these attractions is highly unique. As the seemingly endless imagination and the incredible skills that come into play in converting the most impossible of ideas into reality was part of what raised my interest in the theme park industry many years ago, that didn’t come as a surprise. It did, however, make things considerably more difficult. Luckily, I wasn’t on my own in taking on this challenge. First and foremost I would like to thank my supervisor Pieter Cornelis; I would not have been able to finish my thesis without his support, guidance, wisdom and ruthless criticism. I sincerely appreciate the advice Fetene Tekle, Marie-Anne Mittelhaeuser and especially Theo van der Weegen have given me regarding statistics in general and dimension reduction of dichotomous data in particular.

  • 98-186 Roller Coasters: Background and Design Spring 2015 Week 5 Notes
    98-186 Roller Coasters: Background and Design Spring 2015 Week 5 Notes Early Major Manufacturers Manufacturers NOTE: As a reminder, I would like you to know about Arrow Dynamics, Schwarzkopf, Vekoma, and Custom Coasters Int. (CCI) for this class, but other manufacturers are presented so you are aware of them. Arrow Dynamics (often shortened to Arrow) Founded in 1946 by WWII vets Karl Bacon and Ed Morgan. Originally a small company making merry-go-rounds and other minor attractions for local amusement parks They were contracted by Disneyland in 1953 to build many of Disneyland’s trademark rides, most of which were quite different than what else was around at the time Disney was pleased with their rides and continued to hire them for many years. This resulted in Arrow’s development of the modern steel roller coaster for the Matterhorn Bobsleds During the 60s, they didn’t do much coaster-wise, but worked towards developing the log flume, a roller coaster-esque water ride where riders sit inline in log themed boats and navigate a trough of water, culminating in a major drop and splashdown In the mid-1970s, they picked back up in the roller coaster market with the development of the modern inversion, securing their position as the dominant steel coaster manufacturer in the US o Their coasters were in high demand at this time. During the 70s / 80s, pretty much every major park had an Arrow coaster, if not multiple Arrow coasters One of Arrow’s major trait was of being innovators in the industry, often being the first to create a certain style of ride o They invented the suspended coaster, a style of coaster where the cars hang beneath the track rather than ride on top, and the cars can swing freely from side to side (unlike inverted coasters).

  • Design of Roller Coasters
    Aalto University School of Engineering Master’s Programme in Building Technology Design of Roller Coasters Master’s Thesis 24.7.2018 Antti Väisänen Aalto University, P.O. BOX 11000, 00076 AALTO www.aalto.fi Abstract of master's thesis Author Antti Väisänen Title of thesis Design of Roller Coasters Master programme Building Technology Code ENG27 Thesis supervisor Vishal Singh Thesis advisor Anssi Tamminen Date 24/07/2018 Number of pages 75 Language English Abstract This thesis combines several years of work experience in amusement industry and a litera- ture review to present general guidelines and principles of what is included in the design and engineering of roller coasters and other guest functions attached to them. Roller coasters are iconic structures that provide safe thrills for riders. Safety is achieved using multiple safety mechanisms: for example, bogies have multiple wheels that hold trains on track, a block system prevents trains from colliding and riders are held in place with safety restraints. Regular maintenance checks are also performed to prevent accidents caused by failed parts. Roller coasters are designed using a heartline spline and calculating accelerations in all possible scenarios to prevent rollbacks and too high values of accelerations, which could cause damage to riders’ bodies. A reach envelope is applied to the spline to prevent riders from hitting nearby objects. The speed and curvature of the track combined create acceler- ations that need to be countered with adequate track and support structures. A track cross- section usually consists of rails, cross-ties and a spine, while support structures can vary depending on height and loads.

KwaNdebele was a Bantustan in South Africa, intended by the apartheid government as a semi- independent homeland for the Ndebele people. The homeland was created when the South African government purchased nineteen white-owned farms and installed a government. The homeland was granted self rule in April 1981. Siyabuswa was designated as its capital, but in 1986 the capital was relocated to KwaMhlanga. Since then KwaMhlanga developed into the administrative centre for the local government and now houses the government administration for the North Western Region of the Mpumalanga Province.
