Unplanned but Exciting Beach Visit - Hout Bay Cape Town.

The day started quiet as usual until one of our relatives invited us to her house in Hout Bay. The house is spacious and well ventilated. It resembles a typical beach house.

Lunch was served with the customary dish in Cape Town, that is, Fish and Wine with anything else. We had potato chips added to that.

After the meal, we were full of energy but no adventure. We had not brought any clothes fit for the beach and hence for some time, the beach was out of question. One of our team suggested we just walk around the beach. This was a good idea and this led to the excitement of the day.

As we approached the beach, everyone hesitated for a moment because of the sea breeze. No one ever thought they would set their feet into the sea. 

By the way This is the Location of the Hout Bay. it is on the Atlantic Ocean side, which is the western coast in Cape Town.

The looks in these eyes show an edge to get into the water, but the clothing and the weather seemed to discourage that.

Then one adventurous member of the team broke out of the pack. You always need people like these whenever you travel because they give you the edge to be adventurous.

The way had been opened and so the others easily followed up. At first every effort was made to avoid the waters.

Then an unexpected high tide swept through the sea, catching us unawares and we no longer had any reason to avoid the waters, our feet were already wet. The chilling water sent the cold up the spine in no time.

As if it also sent some energy into the spine, everyone became excited and started jumping around. 

More people drew near and the water was filled with life.

For the dread locked ladies, the breeze swept their hair in a typical stage performance of the rasta -farians. 

For the love birds, the pictures show the mood. This was all created by the feel of nature near the sea.

If you live in a coastal area and seek happiness, just visit the beach. If you are land locked, find a dam nearby, it may give you the feeling.

Seven Important Components of a Technical Report

Sometimes, we do a lot of work and get very low marks because of the way we present our work. Below are the seven main components of a Technical report.

1. Title Page 

This component includes the title of the investigation or the work being presented, The name(s) of the investigator (s), the name (s) of the supervisor (s), the institution at or for which the work is being done and the year of completion.

2. Abstract

This is the first component showing the work done, in short, but is written last. It is written last because it should include the introduction, the work done, the results and the conclusions in a concise manner. A report may be taken as good or bad due to the quality of the abstract. Great attention needs to be paid to this component since it tells the reader what to expect in the report.

3. Introduction

The introduction takes the underlying theory, the present technological state and shows why the investigation or study is being done. This will validate the importance of the research and should be given due attention.

4. Literature Review

At first I thought this was where I would put in all the literature about the subject, but experience has taught me that there is a set criteria for the literature to be included. The literature review should be written in funnel style where you move from broad to specific. The literature included should not only be related to the work being presented but also be used to justify why the current investigation is being done. This is done by considering the shortfalls of the previous work and hence justify the relevance of the current work.

5. Methodology

This is a presentation of the sequence of doing the study. In some cases time frames are required in the proposal. In the report, the section gives the reader a view of the work and how it was done. This may span many chapters and presented preferably in chronological order.

6. Results

After presenting how the work was done, the results should be convincingly reported. This section also includes a discussion of results especially where some anomalies are observed. This will help the reader to understand why the results are the way they are.

7. Conclusion

Every study is done for a purpose and this is the section where the study is evaluated according to the set objectives. The conclusions should be in harmony with the results.

Why Zimbabwe is still the preferred tourist destination in Africa

One would wonder why tourists come from all over the world to visit Zimbabwe. What is it that makes them ignore all the negative publicity that the country has and still run to the country. Even when there was hyperinflation, the country's tourism industry still stood firm. The answer is multifaceted as we are going to find out.

A look at the flag shows a lot. There is always fresh air in Zimbabwe because the vegetation is guarded jealously by the environmental conservation authorities. Did you know that you could be arrested for carrying loads of firewood without a license or written permission from the authorities.

The second thing is that the mighty Victoria Falls, though shared between Zimbabwe and Zambia, only has a scenic view when viewed from the Zimbabwean side. So tourists have no choice but to go to Zimbabwe to view the Victoria Falls. This has been arranged by the powers that be and hence there is no choice but to get into Zimbabwe to view the Victoria Falls.

This is how you view the Victoria Falls from the Zambian side. From this side you lose out on the water activities in the gorge. So to view the water activity, its either you go to the Zimbabwean side, or you lose out.

This is the view from the Zimbabwean side. There is no need to explain the difference, its all clear.

The third reason why Zimbabwe still has visitors is because of the Great Zimbabwe (Dzimbadzamabwe), from which the country derives its name. Apparently this is one of the surviving ancient settlements. The construction is difficult to explaining considering the size of stones used and the technology that was there at the time.

It is interesting to note that historians and archaeologists are still scavenging the area to try and explain how this structure came into being. everyone would be keen to see this monument considering how people in general consider early African civilization.

The animal Kingdom in the country is a blend of big and small animals. The pictures that follow will show the species that attract people from all over the world to visit Zimbabwe.

The Big bird called "Dendera" in the local Shona language.

 This Giant Tortoise is a rare species

The Pangolin is a rare protected species. In ancient history, if one caught it, they were obliged to bring it to the Chief or face punishment.

We will not mention the leopards, lions, elephants, rhino, zebras, buffaloes and other common animals.

Come to Zimbabwe and see for yourself. You will never regret visiting Zimbabwe.

Above all, Zimbabwe is the only country in Africa where foreigners are treated with special respect. if one ill-treats a foreigner, they are punished heavily, this stems from the prominent culture where strangers are deemed worth more respect than locals.

Visit Zimbabwe. 

Why I Chose to do Electronic Engineering

It boggles the mind to think that out of all the nicely paying jobs, someone with qualifications that could allow him to do any degree of his choice, except Accounting, would choose to do Electronic Engineering above all.

The reasons come from the importance of the field to the human race and the development of modern civilization. Lets take a look at the early stages of child development in the womb.

This laboratory use scanning equipment for genetic scanning and screening. Visit the  IVF Blog to get the details of this laboratory set up. It does not require any explanation to understand that electronics is the back bone of this laboratory.

So after realizing the importance of electronics both in industry, home and above all in medical facilities, one who cares about people would want to play their part by being involved in life saving through electronic technology.

Now as time goes on, we realize that life in the modern world will not be life if all electronic equipment is removed. For example, you are reading this blog, thanks to electronic hardware and communication systems. The world have become a global village, thanks to electronics. Due to electronics, we can hold meetings without being limited by geographical distance, thanks to electronic conferencing systems.

Well, this is just but a small portion of applications that are highly dependent of electronics. If I had a second chance to choose my profession, I would still choose to be an electronic engineer.

Long live Electronics and supporting fields.
