Hallo Einsteins
Drowning in math formulas, science hypothesis and grammar rules? Don’t worry. Exams don’t carry on forever and the prospect of long leisurely days of lazing about doing nothing makes it (almost) worth it! We have a brilliant line up of enticing titbits you'll want to store in your brain this November…Think of us as your personal pacemaker, helping you to keep going till that last exam paper is submitted.
Let’s take a look at the line-up.
Exciting news
This just in. HIP2B² will be visiting schools across the country at the beginning of next year. The HIP2B² roadshow will showcase over 150 years of extraordinary discoveries and give a sneak peak of what the future holds.
Details are sketchy at this point, but we do know that it will combine live performance, awesome graphics and incredible audiovisual... And some surprise guest interviews.
More info to follow as it is released. Watch this space.
Space-Out
The HIP2B² website is taking on the universe… literally! We delve into the newest technologies in space.
Heard about the 40,000 km elevator extending into space? Or Richard Branson’s plans for ‘universal’ domination with his new American Spaceport and snazzy spaceliners, ready to zoom us into space for our first totally-out-of-this-world vacation...? And don’t forget the all important Hubble Telescope giving us a glimpse into the eerie regions of deep space…

A few fantastic reasons to visit the Goggle Box
It’s almost time for flexing muscle on the beach. Learn the different ways in which you can use the force of gravity to oppose the force generated by muscle through eccentric contraction. Confused? OK then, let’s rephrase: We’ll focus on the science of weight training.
From red faces to a red hot planet…We don our green uniforms and investigate the current state of global warming.
For those of you afraid of heights, the episode on flight might incur a feeling of vertigo but try to overcome it, because you wouldn’t want to miss an interview with a real-life fighter pilot! We end off November on solid ground and look to the future in a series on career choices.
Be sure to tune in to the hippest show on TV on Mondays at 16h30.
Geeks rule the world
Be careful! Reading this months HIP2B² mag could have you burning your Diesel jeans, Volcom hoodie and Puma sneakers in favour of corduroy trousers, shirts with ink splatters on the pocket and heavy-framed, ‘band-aided’ glasses…Why? Because geeks rule the world and there’s evidence to prove it.
The team also focus on communication – from the first Neanderthal grunts to an SMS that says ‘I luv u :*’. If you don’t have someone to SMS that to, we provide a solution: Learn the secrets of body language and you’ll never doubt whether she was flirting or just nervous.
Always going home without a mag? There’s hope – email jpienaar@newmediapub.co.za or phone him on 021 417 1218, and he’ll organise it for you.
Bitesize Knowledge
Seen our new snazzy mobizine? Yip, we’ve revamped the old one, ripped out the old interior and replaced it with sleek new lines and ice-cool graphics to take on summer.

How do you get it? Easy peasy: just SMS "mobi hip" to 36978. (Leave a space between MOBI and HIP).You'll receive a confirmation SMS with directions on how to install. Visit the MOBIZINE section on the site for more info.
OK Hipsters…that’s all from me. Get back to those books; they will help you win that Nobel Prize. Remember: We are always thrilled to hear from you. Anything you want to share, send it our way - talk2us@hip2b2.com.
Toodleloo!
