Rooibos Tea

Rooibos tea, also known as red bush tea, is a popular herbal tea that is native to South Africa. It is made from the leaves of the Aspalathus linearis plant, which is found only in the Western Cape region of South Africa.

The plant grows in a microclimate where it is exposed to a combination of hot, dry summers and cold, wet winters, which gives it its distinctive flavor and aroma.  It is used in cooking and baking, and can be found in a variety of products, including desserts, skincare products, and even beer.

EU protection for Rooibos tea is good news for South African agriculture

Bosjes Chapel Structural Analysis

Set within a vineyard the chapel emulates the silhouette of surrounding mountain ranges; mimicking the historic Cape Dutch gables dotting the rural landscapes of the Western Cape.

Constructed from a slim concrete cast shell, the roof supports itself as each undulation dramatically falls to meet the ground. Where each wave of the roof structure rises to a peak, expanses of glazing adjoined centrally by a crucifix adorn the façade.

Abstract: Drivable path detection is an important factor to consider for a successful development of autonomous robot which is characterized as an intelligent vehicle. Researchers using different vision-based techniques have achieved remarkable result toward drivable path detection. Regardless of this achievement, environmental noise such as rain and/or snow can cause misdetection of drivable path which can lead to autonomous robot accident. In this paper, after investigating the effects of rain and/or snow, we introduced into the drivable path detection system a filtering algorithm that addresses the detection and removal of rain and/or snow for the optimization of the system. Experiments were carried out to show the effectiveness of the filter in the system. The results show that filtering algorithm assists the autonomous driving system in navigating perfectly during rain and/or snow scenario with minimal accident.
