Hi Bondies! Welcome to Week 4! It certainly feels like uni has picked up massively in the past week and I’m starting to realise how deep in the semester we really are! To everybody who ruined Game of Thrones for me with your spoiler statuses this week - at least it’s one less TV show to distract myself with now.
As the year progresses, you will hear the word “BAfrica” thrown around more and more. What’s it all about you ask? Read on.. Bond In Africa, affectionately known as BAfrica, is a program aimed at providing access for Bond students to African communities and organisations in which they can apply skills acquired through their degrees to positions and projects which provide developmental assistance to those communities. Ultimately, this program not only provides an opportunity for Bond students to further their education and experience in some of the poorest yet most beautiful parts of the world, but it provides short term relief and economic stimulation to the communities we visit, and most importantly opens students’ eyes to possible long term commitments they can make to aid in the development of Africa.
Palaver, as always, was a notoriously messy night and I hope everybody had a wonderful time. It’s a jam-packed week this week with the PGSA’s Overgrad, and then its Graduation Night next week so we look forward to welcoming back all of our graduating Bondies for that!
In the September holidays of 2012 my predecessor, Madeline Wardleworth, successfully organised and led the inaugural BAfrica expedition. 24 students travelled to Malawi, a landlocked country in southeast Africa, and one of the least-developed countries in the world. Here they applied their skills and knowledge in medicine, information technology, architecture, education and marketing at the Mulanje Mission which consists of a high school, primary school, hospital, nurses’ college and an HIV AIDS support network. In a country which is known to have one of the lowest life expectancies and highest infant mortality rates, outside help is warmly welcomed. The 2012 program was a great success, and Mulanje Mission are eager to have us back in 2013.
In other exciting news, I’m thrilled to announce the new additions to the Scope sub-committee! Along with Ash Sullivan who joined us in a graphic design capacity last week, I would like to welcome Growth is important to the BAfrica program. The further the reach of the program extends, the more James, Nic, David and Antony to access we can supply to Bond students and the more degrees we can cater to, providing opportunities our Music/Arts/Reviews section, that may blossom in to careers. That is why in 2013 we are running two limbs, one replicating the 2012 Rizal to our Sports section, and Mulanje Mission program in Malawi, and the second limb venturing into Cape Town, South Africa, where students will engage in internship-like positions within legal aid and social justice organisations Anis to our Features section. such as the Cape Town Refugee Centre and the South African Human Rights Commission. This second We will see their first contribulimb will see particularly humanities students, law students and business students applying their skills to tions to Scope next week, and aid the progress of these organisations. I know that they will bring To facilitate the growth of the program I have appointed a 2013 BAfrica Board. They have been working tirenew ideas and flavours to lessly since late last year and have produced some great results. I am proud to introduce the following Board the magazine so I’m super members: excited to work with all of Co-convenor – Shuba Krishnan; Financial Director – Stuart McKelvie; Sponsorship Directors – Carly them! O’Loughlan and Annabelle Parker; and our IT/Multimedia Director – Mitch Willocks.
With our participants now chosen following a rigorous selection process involving the Career Development Centre, our itinerary for both limbs finalised, flights booked and meals and accommodation locked away, we are at the final stages of organisation for the 2013 program. All that’s left is raising funds to help us buy materials to renovate the Mulanje Mission and to subsidise what is an expensive venture. This semester we will be holding many fundraising events and ask for your support. Get behind your fellow Bondies as they strive to build on a program that will one day see Bond as beacon for social justice among all other Australian tertiary institutions. Check out www.bondinafrica.com or our Facebook page for more information, or contact me with any questions at specialinterests.busa@bond.edu.au.
Realised this week that there’s only 10 editions left which means BUSA elections and Bondstock are close! Get keen! Love, Caro x
Bond Horoscopes
By Kate Brady
As we are approaching half way through 2013 already, I thought we could all use an updated horoscope to see what is going on with you, friends, lovers and family - really just anyone. Just a quick disclaimer, I am not by any means a qualified Astrologer, if you can even become that. But I will try my best to see what is going on.

Libra 23/9 – 23/10
You are oh-so-elegant and tasteful to the point of incurring nausea from loved ones. You are also bipolar as hell and can’t make a decision on your own. You usually consult your therapist or TV Guide. Libras are trendy and malleable folks. They are funny because they will get attached onto something they hated before if it suddenly becomes fashionable. Libras eat a lot of ethnic food from cultures they don’t understand. They single-handedly started the green tea movement.
Scorpios are known to be honest, factual, sceptical, hard working, serious, and passionate and not at all prejudice. However, they are among the harshest and angriest of the zodiac signs. Scorpios have the good quality of being open and not judgemental of new people, but once you upset or double cross them, they can be prone to nastiness, controlling behaviour, cruelty, extremity, conservatism and intensity. They are one sign you do not want to piss off. Interestingly enough, Scorpios are the people most likely to denounce stuff like astrology and god, as they are serious and sceptical people.
To catch the attention of a Libra, woo them with praise, remove all mirrors, dress to the nines, smell delicious, and make sure not a hair’s out of place. They accept nothing less. Fat chance you’ll ever snag one of these grand prizes. High maintenance would be an understatement when describing these aesthetic pleasers. Primping, pressing, and posing until they’re satisfied with the vision of perfection looking back at them in the mirror. Fashion conscious to the hilt, they’re sure to turn every head. They’ll sink their hard earned money into gym memberships, age defying products, and jaw dropping attire.
Capricorn 22/12 – 19/1
Can you say boring? Get a life Capricorn! The rest of the world seems to be able to figure it out. Plodding along methodically, Cappies remain ever focused on their goals, gradually and persistently reaching the top. Finding little air to breathe at such altitudes, they suffer the effects by refusing Sagittarius to lower themselves to where real life flourishes, leaving their 22/11 – 21/12 heads swooning in lofty aspirations.

You’ll never understand them partners and devoted parents. and they’ll never understand you. Try not to lose too much sleep over this tiny, insignificant, fact because no one else will.
Aquarians are kind to everyone, cheerfully ignoring anything you have to say. Blatantly insult them and they’ll ignorantly smile right back as if your cutting remarks were transparent. You can always pick out an Aquarian in a crowd. They’re the ones dressed a bit off, the one’s trying out a new dance move they just invented, and the ones who could care less if you like it or not. You are irrelevant and simply take up space.

Before moving out I asked myself; was I going to miss all this? And I honestly thought I was (sorry I just found my balls in my purse). However, moving out into freedom has been the best thing ever and I’ve never looked back. The extra space allows you to feel free and undisturbed. The liberty to sit on my couch naked, rather than being forced to recline on my white bed sheets… And the privacy is insane.

The Last Straw The equal treatment of men and women isn’t a topic that should be taken lightly. It is a topic that has potential to stir up debate in society; however, the majority of people in this generation would say that men and women should be treated equally. With this said, it has come to my attention that there is in actual fact a sexist divide happening right under our noses on a daily basis. Have we become so oblivious to such acts of sexism? Are we accustomed to being treated this way?
his response was as follows: “I couldn’t believe it. The guile! Had they ever thought that perhaps, for a wild chance, that a man might want to use a straw?! I was confounded and disillusioned... Has the world we live in really become such a dreadfully sexist world that it is no longer masculine to use a straw?!” The other victim of this event, Hamish, stated that he was “heartbroken”.
This made me think: would it really have been so bad for her to leave the two straws in the drinks?

AWARENESS LEADS TO ACCEPTANCE
My little nephew Sid is 6.5 months old, he is absolutely gorgeous (I might be biased but just look at the photos), he has a big brother, parents and an extended family that love him and he has Prader Willi Syndrome (PWS). PWS is a rare genetic syndrome, occurring in just one out of every 15,000 births and is characterised by an inactive portion of chromosome 15. People with PWS may experience a range of symptoms including low muscle tone, sleep disorders, cognitive delays, emotional and behavioural difficulties. However, the most severe symptoms are chronic hunger and an insatiable, physiological drive to eat. Ironically, a significantly slower metabolism means that people with PWS only need 60% of the calories that a peer without PWS needs, but unlike their peers, they will never experience the satisfaction of being full. Thursday, 30 May was PWS awareness day and people were encouraged to ‘Go Orange’. The more I learn about PWS, the more I recognise the multifaceted value in awareness.
Awareness is about emphasising the need for more support services. More funding is needed so that one day Sid will have the opportunity to live independently but in a secure environment. Currently there are 800 – 1000 people living in Australia with PWS, but only 3 facilities that provide PWS specific housing. Awareness is about encouraging more research to find a cure for PWS. Currently, research is focused on suppressing appetites.
Awareness is about acceptance. A high school teacher once told me that it is our responsibility as a community to ensure that people with disabilities are welcomed into our community, given the opportunity to participate in everyday activities and to feel just as much a part of society as we do. My hope for Sid, is that people will be educated By Ellen Scobie about his syndrome so that they can see past behaviours that are different from their own and get to know Sid and his own unique personality. Awareness is about raising the profile of PWS in the medical profession. After Facebook had been inundated with happy snaps of my friends and I Sid may experience life very differently to me, but with a loving family and Going Orange, I received a post on my wall from my good friend and bond the right support from the wider community, I believe that he can reach his Alumnus, Megan Ball.

More Information: http://www.garvan.org.au/research/our-work/praderBecause PWS is so rare, my sister (Sid’s mum), has come across doctors and willi-syndrome?gclid=CPWOsf7Lv7cCFUcdpQod2S8AWg medical professionals who have never heard of PWS. It is comforting to know that Megan already has insight into the syndrome.
PALAVER Four semesters into her Bond degree and she still hadn’t attended a BSA Palaver, Chanel Heeran shares what she had been missing out on.
So coming into my fourth semester at Bond I was determined to make more of an effort to get involved and attend the events held on campus. I had previously only attended one Bond event in my first semester, and that was of course end of semester bash. I always put off going to events due to lack of money or I was working (oh the irony). Anyway, I decided this semester I must attend Palaver before it was too late. I was more and more excited as the days passed in the lead up to the event as I heard Palaver was always a night that led up to high expectations and was one not to miss out on. Thursday eventually arrived and the weather was somewhat depressing, but I didn’t want to let a bit of rain and wind put a downer on my evening. I arrived at Don’s just before 10pm and the theme for this event was Carnival, and oh it was marvelous. As my friends and I entered through the doors, we stood before a mass crowd of students socialising, smil-
ing for photos and jumping to the bass of the music. Don’s was completely transformed out of this world with props and decorations suited to the theme. Everyone was clearly enjoying themselves, happiness oozing through their smiles when getting their photos taken. The thing that I enjoyed most was how friendly everyone was, having deep and meaningful conversations with total strangers and getting amongst group photos. Everyone was just having a good time. Circling the outside of the dance floor were Carnival games to test your skills and strengths, and many prizes to be won; A fairy floss machine for those with a sweet tooth and a bar close by for those with other kinds of sweet teeth. In the center was the dance floor and it was the main attraction for all. It was where people opened up out of their shell, moved to the rhythm of the music and thump of the bass – even if they looked ridiculously awkward and uncoordinated. The repetitive flashes of coloured lights and quick flickers of strobe lights in movement to the music was indescribable, singing in harmony to the lyrics of the songs. The dancing carried out until the music died to a slow hum, and everyone made their way towards the buses to the after party. My night continued until the early hours of the morning, and I’m so glad I didn’t miss out on attending this event. Chanel Heeran
