Hing vs. Reinke -- fight!

Hing and Nica, having slightly differing aesthetic interpretations of data presentation:

Yes, Hing's is the green frame of vertical numbers on the left; Reinke's tight and subtle graphic is slightly on the right. Okay, then.

Presenting the ad-hoc works of one Elisabeth (Sabah) Cabano

An enhanced napkin...

Rolled-out disposable coffee-cup, repurposed...

So Elisabeth, recovering from a dodgy knee, has been stuck in my classroom. And apart from some long-distance Math and English work done by her, also, herewith, some impromptu art. 

[For orders to use the above in screen-printing for sarongs, doilies, tank-tops, etc., please contact Elisabeth directly.]

Needless to say, Ms Cabano retains all copyright on the above images.

True, they are makeing themselfs look dum

An actual answer - verbatim - I got in the June 2016 Grade 10 Eng. FAL Language paper:

The sites and blogs I read...

What informs my thinking, you may ask? Well, here are some of the websites and blogs I visit daily...

• Google News [good aggregator of local and international news]
• vox.com -- a witty, liberal site which analyses news to good effect
• news24 - for SA news
• IOL [Cape Times, etc.]
• The Register - a hugely witty and informative British tech and IT news site
• Gizmodo, for gadget and tech news [just avoid the clickbait links!]
• Lifehacker, for daily tips on how to manage your life more effectively [does not always work!]
• GSMarena, for the latest in phone and Android news
• The Guardian, for world news [well-written, eye-pleasing layout]
• The BBC [world news by Auntie Beeb]
• Sky TV News [obviously]
