KZN’S FAVOURITE READ
from the editor or exercising or doing anything other than what you’re doing right now? Why don’t you have a better body? It’s not a fair comparison, of course. They’re not posting photos of themselves when they’re doing the more mundane things, like sitting around looking at their phones. They’re not posting about their anxieties or boredom, their arguments and procrastination, their insecurities. But even if you do an apples-withapples comparison — your highlights to theirs — it’s a pointless exercise because life is much more complex than this and it’s not the highlights that determine our happiness. I think there’s much more than this to consider. Collective wisdom says that happiness comes from appreciating what’s in front of you, not wishing you were doing something else. You find out what life is about by paying closer attention to it, not wishing you were living a fantasy. We don’t need to be better than anyone else: we just need to love where we are and what we’re doing and who we are. That’s what matters. Comparisons don’t make us happier or appreciate life more — they make us feel bad about ourselves. And that’s just so sad. The secret is to appreciate where you are. Instead of looking at the lives of others, see the good in what is right in front of you. Inside of you. Appreciate each moment, one at a time, and be happy where you are. When you find yourself comparing your life to the lives of others, turn to the moment in front of you and find ways to appreciate it.
L
ately I have found myself reminiscing a little more than usual about people, places and things that no longer exist. This is because I have been wasting too much time on social media sites like Facebook where memories are stock in trade. The trouble with this is I always feel a twinge of sadness looking back at what once was. It is hugely self indulgent and ultimately it’s an utter waste of time. And it’s not only living in the past that’s a pointless exercise – belief in the pseudo-reality of social media is equally empty. We all do it and often it appears that other people are living lives that are more exciting than ours. So, as the cliché goes, “how does that make you feel”? Some stuff is just a hoot – people who are probably sitting in the same room tapping away on the phone, telling each other (and anyone else unfortunate enough to receive this schmaltz) what they could far better do in person. Sharing intimacies to be read by an entire voyeuristic collection of friends and followers is just weird. Then there are people having an “amazing” time - going to parties, to the beach, having a great dinner, traveling, buying things, doing yoga … generally living an amazing life. If you were to look at these on a regular basis, it would be easy to compare your boring life (looking at your phone) to the incredible lives of your friends. Why aren’t you doing more? Why aren’t you eating more exotic food? Why aren’t you traveling

www.lifeandstyle.fm Durban, Friday, 1 May 2015 – The inaugural Deloitte Challenge KZN, the latest and most breathtaking edition to the province’s sporting calendar has been staged, and with it goes the last remaining opportunity for runners to qualify for this year’s Comrades Marathon. The winner of the Marathon event, Shingirai Badza, now holds the official title as record holder of the inaugural Deloitte Challenge Marathon with a time of 2 : 28 : 47. Nonsikelelo Mbambo, the first female to cross the Marathon finish line, holds the woman’s record with a time of 3 : 06 : 22. Both walk away with a monetary prize of R10 000 as well as a Comrades qualifier under their belts. “We are delighted with the success of this event which demontrates Deloitte’s investment in the province and earmarks its debut on the KZN sporting calendar, supporting Deloitte’s ongoing belief that in order to take out you need to put back in.” said Guy Brazier, Office Managing Partner of Deloitte in KZN. “In a time when people are focused on being ‘busy’, Deloitte strives to promote wellness and a healthy lifestyle for its staff as well as its clients and the KZN community. We are thrilled with the number of people, across age groups, who chose to spend quality time outdoors on their public holiday as well as those who chose to support LIV, our event beneficiary. We received approximately R30 000 from athletes’s individual donations for this wonderful organisation - sincere thanks are extended to all those who contributed.” “We look forward to hosting a bigger and better Deloitte Challenge in 2016. We believe that given the event’s prime spot on the sporting calendar as well as its status as the last Comrades qualifier and training run, the event will soon become one of the most anticipated events on the KZN sporting calendar. In the first event, we recorded over 4000 entries across all challenges and are very confident that this will be doubled next year.” comments Barry Holland, Deloitte Challenge Race Director who holds the record of 42 consecutive Comrades finishes. Brazier concludes, “Deloitte congratulates every athlete for taking up a challenge, and in particular the category winners. Thanks also go out to those who supported their friends and family in this inaugural event.”

BUSINESS BRANDING I Sean Dercksen
n business it really all starts with branding. Developing a recognisable, credible brand will do more for your business than almost any other business activity. Regardless of the size of your business, a powerful brand will take you out of an ocean of sameness into a lake of differentiation. Here are some key factors to include in your branding efforts:
1.
Take control of your brand! If perception is reality, what do people think of you and your business right now based on your brand? Take a careful look at your business from the outside and begin to make changes on the inside. Google your business, read your newsletters and look at what is sent out to your target market. The overall message that goes out is more than likely the result that comes back. Develop long term brand equity. Every decision you make from now should be done to develop long term brand equity for your business. Branding can be represented via your website, through all of your business communications and into your target market. Scrutinize the communications you send out to ensure they are representative of the brand you are trying to portray. If your messages are united, your brand is clearly represented. If you want people to buy from you, they need to be able to relate to your business. When people relate to your business, it simplifies the buying process and makes it easier for them to take action. When they see value it is because they want something higher that you offer, an

improvement to what they currently have. If your business does not improve your client’s life, they probably won’t do business with you. To solve this, ask yourself what your clients need and what they want. Then go about providing it. Create a need and a demand. People buy your product or service when you have shown them how they need what you offer. Become a problem solver or a solution finder to their immediate problems. If you can showcase a solution to their needs via your branding, people will want to do business with you. People buy people first and foremost. Business is built upon relationships. If your brand can portray who you are, what you do, the solutions you offer and easy ways to do business with you, then you are on the right track - selling the benefits of your business. Build your branding up to have originality, relevance and be able to touch the core of your clients. These things make people sit up, pay attention and ultimately support you and your business.

Now THAT'S A Spin Cycle!
Exercise Bike Washes Your Dirty Laundry as You Pedal
F
inding the time to exercise when you've got heaps of housework - and laundry piling up can be difficult, but this piece of gym kit means you've got no excuse not to work up a sweat. Chinese designers have developed the Bike Washing Machine that contains a washing machine drum in its front wheel. When ridden, the pedalling motion causes the drum to rotate, churning your clothes inside it like a traditional washer. A generator inside the bike also creates electricity which can be stored for future use. They say that the device could be a solution for those who want both a washing machine and an exercise bike but cannot find space for both. Alternatively it could also help shave a few pounds off your electricity bill by using pedal power to do the laundry. The invention could also find use in remote areas where people do not have access to reliable supplies of electricity.
It is not the first time cycling and the weekly wash have been combined. In 2011 Richard Hewitt, a design student at Sheffield Hallam University, announced he had developed a similar device that washes and dries clothes using pedal power. His Spincycle machine could be attached

Magnificent Mother's Day cocktail...
For everything she has done and will continue to do for her family. For all of the sacrifices and hugs and kisses throughout the years, Mom deserves a special day, a day where it's all about her and thanking her for her devotion. The cards, gifts, meals and thank yous are great, but wouldn't Mom like a good drink? If you can answer that question with a "yes" then here is a cocktails that she is sure to enjoy. The Pink Lady is a classic cocktail that has a light blush color contributed by the dashes of grenadine. It was one of the first "girly drinks" and a favorite of the high society ladies of the 30's. The key to this drink (and any shaken with egg) is to shake it longer than you would with most cocktails to ensure that everything is mixed well. The egg also makes a great foamy top of the pink liquid, creating an intimate looking finished cocktail. Ingredients
1 1/2 ounces gin 3/4 ounce applejack 1/4 ounce lemon juice 1-2 dashes grenadine
1 egg white Maraschino cherry for garnish Prep Time: 3 minutes Total Time: 3 minutes Yield: 1 Cocktail
Preparation
1. Pour the ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice cubes. 2. Shake vigorously. 3. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. 4. Garnish with the cherry.

The 20 surprising uses for coffee grounds... • • •
Mix grounds with vinegar to stain new wood to make it look weathered Get rid of smelly garlic fingers by rubbing a small amount on them Used grounds can unblock the sink and make your hair shiny
HOUSEHOLD USES
1. Remove hard-to-clean dirt on tiles and kitchen counters Mix your grounds with soapy water and scrub on the surface of the stain with a dishcloth. 2. Clean a dirty grill The thinking behind this is the same as the above. The grainy texture of the grounds will remove the build-up of grease. 3. Exterminate fleas from your pet When bathing your dog (or cat), after shampooing and before rinsing rub some of the grounds into their fur. 4. Unblock the sink If your drains are clogged, pour the grounds into the sink followed by liquid soap and a kettle of boiling water. 5. Erase scratches off your furniture Mix up the grounds with vinegar and warm water and rub the paste gently on to the scratched surface. Use a cotton bud for thin and faint scratches. 6. Scour your pans Only do this on pans that don’t stain easily. The abrasive nature of the grounds will scrape away caked-on dirt. 7. Bake delicious and flavourful brownies Instead of using milk when you make your brownies, just add some freshly ground coffee for a rich, caffeine jolt. 8. As a meat tenderiser and seasoning This works in two ways. Coffee grounds work as a tenderiser because, as they caramelise, they form a crust that locks in all the moisture of the meat. This not only adds a savourysweet flavour to your BBQ (pork works best with this) but once your meat is cooked, it will be fork-tender. 9. After chopping alliums Simply rub used coffee grounds on your hands once you’re done with the chopping. The grounds will neutralise strong odours.
BEAUTY
10. Reduce under-eye puffiness It’s not just teabags that can do this coffee too has been known to remove puffiness from under your eyes. Simply mix up the coffee grounds with some water and make into a paste. Smear it on the affected area and leave to rest for
15 minutes. 11. Get rid of cellulite Massage a mixture of grounds and coconut into the troubled spots, leave for a few minutes then rinse off. Keep doing this every day for two weeks and you will soon notice the difference. 12. Wash your face For an inexpensive exfoliant, simply mix a spoonful of grounds, with a few drops of olive oil and a couple more drops of an essential oil of your liking. 13. Wash your hair The grittiness of the grounds will strip your hair of product build-up from your hair and leave it squeaky clean. Brunettes will benefit most from this as coffee also darkens your hair colour.
IN THE GARDEN
14. Composting Rich in nitrogen, coffee grounds are great for composting and a firm favourite of worms. If you have a compost pile, use one part freshly mown grass clippings to one part leaves to one part grounds. Don’t just use freshly brewed grounds for this – they need some time to break down in the compost for this to work. 15. Banish slugs and snails instead of salting your outdoor surfaces to keep away the slugs, just sprinkle the used grounds on your patio and around the flower beds and you will never have to deal with slugs again as they don’t like the acidity of coffee. 16. Grow a healthy crop of carrots Mix used up grounds with carrot seeds and they will be easier to sow. 17. Change the colour of your flowers This works especially well for hydrangeas as their colour can be manipulated simply by altering the pH levels of the soil. The coffee grounds reduces the pH level and will give you bright blue blooms.
ARTS AND CRAFTS
18. Paint Coffee grounds mixed with water (used different amounts of grounds with varying levels of water) are an easy way to paint sepia-toned pictures 19. Make your own candles Coffee fans who can’t go without a sniff of their favourite bean can turn old grounds into candles. All you need is a small paper cup, one sheet of kitchen roll, a cup of wax candle ends, a small saucepan, candle wick, scissors, and a small metal or glass mixing bowl. This easy-to-follow method will make one gorgeous coffee candle. 20. Make new wood look old A tablespoon of coffee grounds, white vinegar, one steel wool pad and an old jam jar are all you need. Simply place the steel wool and grounds in the jar and fill it to the top with the vinegar. Let the mixture stew for a day. The vinegar will slowly start to dissolve the steel wool, which will give your wood a silvery patina. Once the 24 ours are up, all you need to do is remove the steel wool (remember to wear gloves) and start painting over your piece of wood. Let the first coat dry, brush off the coffee grounds and apply a second coat.

Researchers Discover 'Molecular Reset Switch' For Our Body Clock
J
etlag could soon be a thing of the past. An international team of scientists has discovered what they claim is a molecular reset button for our internal body clock.
Their findings reveal a potential target to treat a range of disorders, from sleep disturbances to other behavioural, cognitive, and metabolic abnormalities, commonly associated with jet lag, shift work and exposure to light at night, as well as with neuropsychiatric conditions such as depression and autism. In a study published online April 27 in Nature Neuroscience, the authors, led by researchers at McGill and Concordia universities in Montreal, report that the body's clock is reset when a phosphate combines with a key protein in the brain.
This process, known as phosphorylation, is triggered by light. In effect, light stimulates the synthesis of specific proteins called Period proteins that play a pivotal role in clock resetting, thereby synchronizing the clock's rhythm with daily environmental cycles. 'This study is the first to reveal a mechanism that explains how light regulates protein synthesis in the brain, and how this affects the function of the circadian clock,' says senior author Nahum Sonenberg, a professor in McGill's Department of Biochemistry. In order to study the brain clock's mechanism, the researchers mutated the protein known as eIF4E in the brain of a lab mouse so that it could not be phosphorylated. Since all mammals have similar brain
clocks, experiments with the mice give an idea of what would happen if the function of this protein were blocked in humans. The mice were housed in cages equipped with running wheels. By recording and analyzing the animals' running activity, the scientists were able to study the rhythms of the circadian clock in the mutant mice. The upshot: the clock of mutant mice responded less efficiently than normal mice to the resetting effect of light. The mutants were unable to synchronize their body clocks to a series of challenging light/dark cycles - for example, 10.5 hours of light followed by 10.5 hours of dark, instead of the 12-hour cycles to which laboratory mice are usually exposed. 'While we can't predict a timeline for
these findings to be translated into clinical use, our study opens a new window to manipulate the functions of the circadian clock,' says Ruifeng Cao, a postdoctoral fellow in Dr. Sonenberg's research group and lead author of the study. For co-author Shimon Amir, professor in Concordia's Department of Psychology, the research could open a path to target the problem at its very source. 'Disruption of the circadian rhythm is sometimes unavoidable but it can lead to serious consequences. 'This research is really about the importance of the circadian rhythm to our general well-being. 'We've taken an important step towards being able to reset our internal clocks -- and improve the health of thousands as a result.'

Focused Posture Exercise can help prevent injury for Cyclists A
online
Johan Dorfling - Personal Trainer
key component to cycling enjoyment is rider comfort. Most bike shops will help you with a general bike setup which is pretty much your seat height and if you are lucky your handle bar position but bicycles are symmetrical, humans aren't. A stable and strong posture promotes balanced motion. Why do we need balanced motion? Imagine your one crank arm being longer than the other, or your left handle being further than your right. If your body moves asymmetrically, this could effectively be the case and can cause so many of the common cycling injuries. Unbalanced motion and poor posture stresses muscles and joints, causing injuries.This may lead you to a cycle of pain. The pain cycle of injury-pain-compensationadaptation creates a vicious cycle of poor posture, adaptive body motion, increased bio mechanical stress and premature degeneration. The pain cycle begins as a functional compensation, and over time progresses to a structural adaptation as the body learns to move in pain avoidance patterns. Some muscles become chronically tight and others weaken as injured tissues are avoided. Function, or how we do things, changes. Asymmetric posture and unbalanced or "trick" patterns of motion cause some ligaments to shorten and others to stretch as some joints stiffen and

others become unstable. Whether the cycle begins with unbalanced motion from injury or even habitual poor posture ( even too much time in seated and stretched position on bike), the body compensates for pain by moving differently, compensating and adapting in an ever worsening cycle of poor posture, poor balance, and increased biomechanical stress. Focused posture exercise may help break the pain cycle with a virtuous cycle of balanced motion. A motion cycle of strong, stable posture and balanced, flexible motion is the solution for the pain cycle's asymmetrical, compensatory poor posture and adaptive body motion patterns. When joints are unlocked to move freely and muscles trained to stabilize through a full range of motion, weak muscles strengthen, adaptively tight muscles stretch, and ligaments adapt in a virtuous cycle of motion. The body moves in a chain of motion, also known as a kinetic chain. If you think of a bicycle chain and how it moves over a chain ring to drive your bicycle, you can understand how important it is that each link moves freely to ensure that your drive chain doesn't slip, works efficiently and doesn't cause early wear on your chain rings and cassette. The same can be said for these kinetic chains of motion. Just one single stiff link or joints affects the entire chain and how it works and wears.
Just breathe . . . Helen Weaver – Liquid Yoga
A
sa freediver, I get asked a lot why I would bother so much with breathing, when its actually the opposite state that we are more concerned with… but the truth is… the lead up to the best breath hold or static is marked by very considered and deep breathing. We become intricately interested in breath in order to lose it…
As a yogi, I know we learn of pranayama (this is from the Sanskrit word prana meaning life force or vital energy and ayama meaning to extend or draw out). But the more that you delve into the mechanics of breathing, the control that is required to make the inhalations and exhalations; I learnt the effects of a fast breath on my body. I also learnt of the effects of a slow breath… in my opinion the only way to learn and understand is to do… and feel… and compute the changes or effects. Where ever you are right now, take a moment to breathe very rapidly for 10 seconds (this is basically hyperventilating). Stop breathing and close your eyes and truly FEEL your body. Your heart is no doubt thumping away and you are feeling worked up? To be honest, its not a great feeling… but this is what we do when we are stressed and afraid… and our breathing makes the entire situation worse. So, we know the heart raises when we breathe fast… so it stands to reason the heart slows and the mind stills when we breathe slowly. But unfortunately since birth… we have been breathing in our very own unconscious, shallow,
rapid breathing, with no thought to the effects on our minds and bodies. Don’t take it too personally, most people are only breathing with about 40% of their lung capacity. But hopefully if you are reading this, you will stop and consider your breath. It’s totally human to be taking your breathing for granted… but with your awareness and your decision to break this really bad habit, you can change the way your body looks and feels… not to mention your mind. The benefits of mindful breathing is really far reaching… practising the proper techniques of breathing will make you more aware of your breath, thus making the benefits physical as well as mental and spiritual. Some of the most common benefits found are… • Improvement in the rate of breathing – opens and cleans the lungs • Reduction in the heart rate as well and the wear and tear of the heart • Helping the body get rid of excessive fat and weight • Curing problems that are related to the digestive system • Enhancing the functioning of several organs, which include the kidneys, pancreas, intestines, diaphragm, lungs and the heart • Removing the toxins within the body • Preventing various diseases by strengthening the immune system • Getting rid of negative emotions like depression anger arrogance greed and so on… • Improving the circulation of blood throughout the body
• Reducing blood pressure by relaxing the body and soothing the nerves It’s really fascinating and fun when you start to participate in the most important action in your world… did you know that we do not breathe through the same nostril all day? Right now you are either favouring your left nostril or your right nostril. Close your eyes again and try to feel which one is the chosen one right now. The left nostril is for calming and cooling and the right nostril is for firing and energy. Your nose is exceptionally clever, and just by practising a few rounds of alternate nostril breathing a few minutes each day, you can help restore imbalances in your brain, improve sleep, calm your emotional state, boost your thinking and calm your nervous system. When breathing is restricted and shallow your body does not feel safe. Muscles tense, chest tightens, jaw clenches and you begin to under breathe. The mind becomes anxious, thoughts race. Know this. Your breathing is your medicine. Deepen, slow and relax your breath. Your body and mind will soon follow.

Who is Sean Temple?
GENERAL iNTEREST
15
Natasha Freeman
In the wake of Ashton’s most successful rugby tour ever, everyone is looking to the new coach and asking, Who is Sean Temple?
O
riginally from Eshowe people are wondering about Temple, not just because of Ashton’s recent winning streak (the most successful in the history of the school) but because some of the country’s top rugby players are seen training alongside him on the Ashton Campus. What is bringing the likes of Stefan Terblanche, JP Pietersen, Rory Kockott, Freddie Michalak, Louis Ludik, Craig Burden, Bryan Habana, Al Hargreaves, BJ Botha, Tim Drummond, Wade Paton, Cindy Hack, Bianca Meyer, Lisa Raleigh to Sean Temple for advice? And what does this have to do with Ashton’s sudden appearance on the interschool rugby map? Temple is the creator of an endurance fitness system called FLUX. It uses kettlebells as its base and couples strength based actions with motion. The secret to Temple’s system? Weaknesses. FLUX focuses on strengthening weakness in order to balance out the body. The result: optimum fitness and performance. Freddie Michielak was so impressed by the changes FLUX training made to his athelticism that he phoned Temple from the middle of the rugby stadium, just as Toulon won the Heineken Cup. Amid shouts and cheers and champagne splashing everyone in the face, Sean held his mobile back from his ear as Freddie shouted, “Sean! I’m going to bring the FLUX to Toulon!” And he has. FLUX France opened at the end of last year. “FLUX is less about muscle training, and more about movement patterns,” says Temple, “Which is why it responds so well to the human body. We work on the weakness, then create movement patterns around that weakness to make it stronger.” By their nature, kettlebell exercises build strength and endurance. But Temple has managed to harness that reality into a unique training system that is literally taking the sports world by storm. Ashton Rugby is witnessing these results first hand.
might be able to help in a practical way. “I’m just tired of being bullied around,” he wrote. “I know you know about these kinds of things, so I’m writing to ask for your help. What can I do to get stronger? How can I become ‘better’.” Three months later a parcel arrived to a wide-eyed Temple who tore open the brown paper cover. A body-building book weighed heavily in his small hands. When he opened the cover it was signed, “I hope this helps – Arnold Schwarzenegger”. For the next twenty-five years, Temple spent most of his spare time learning as much as he could about the body. As an adult and professional athlete (rugby and cycling) he trained with a focus on excellence, and a fascination (still) with how to become ‘better’ at everything he did. This fascination however, was marred by a frustration – he always seemed to just fall short of achieving what he thought he should be able to achieve. Until one day, training in a London gym, he saw, “A wippet of a man in the corner waving a thing around that looked like a cannonball. I’d never seen anything like it in my life. I watched him for about 20 minutes and realized that the biokinetics, the biomechanics, of what he was doing were…incredible.” Temple’s curiosity got the better of him and he approached the man, who turned out to be a special forces soldier based in Bagdad, training with Russian soliers on kettlebells at an American camp. The man and Sean became quick friends and he invited Sean to work out with him the next day, “I’ll bring my extra kettlebell!” Temple arrived, thinking he knew everything there was to know about exercise, fitness, endurance and working out. He was wrong, “I trained with him, no more than ½ an hour – I was so busted up that I was just…I’d never in my life experienced anything like it.” For 4 days afterward, Sean was a wreck, sore in places he didn’t know existed. “Suddenly, I saw all of my weaknesses. One thirty minute work-out basically stripped away everything I’d learned about fitness.”
FLUX in Genesis
FLUX Unlimited
FLUX in Motion
From as far back as Temple can remember, he was thought-obsessed with how the body functioned – strength versus weakness, the effects of weakness on performance, how holes in training detracted from overall endurance and conditioning. As a bullied 12 year old, Temple didn’t reach out to school authorities to help ease the circumstances, he instead wrote to the one person he thought
Following this chance meeting, Sean began to research kettlebells before bed every night. Reflecting and compiling information that was basically restructuring his thought process about how to really make the human body and sport performance shine. His life in professional sport began with a scholarship for Rugby to PMB University, this was quickly followed by an additional scholarship for cycling. As
part of the national squad, Temple was sent to Cape Town for three months of sport and fitness experiments under the wing of a little known sports scientist named Tim Noakes. Everywhere Temple went, everything he did, fitness and the contemplation about how to achieve excellence in sport performance permeated his daily life. Before FLUX, Sean’s professional life saw him in finance and software development in London, New York, and Australia. In his spare time, he qualified for certifications and sought conversations with some of the world’s top endurance trainers and coaches. Eventually, tiring of the New York / London leg, he returned to Durban. Shortly afterward, he started African Boot Camps and became to put his long developing theory into practice. In March 2011, Temple left the corporate world for good and FLUX was officially born. Sean won’t claim it, but ten minutes with him reveals he has an intrinsic sense of how the body works and a deep body knowledge. He notices details and biomechanical issues in a way that is integral to the personalized programs he develops. FLUX is the compilation of this skill, this magic, in action, and the very reason behind the sudden appearance of Ashton on the national school rugby circuit. He designs strength and conditioning programs for the likes of Bryan Habana, Freddie Michilak, JP Peterson (which is why you see the Boks, Sharks and multiple other professional athletes at his door – Athletes who swear by his method. Michilak opened a FLUX location in France, London followed suit. Temple is now in talks for locations in Ireland, Atlanta, LA and there are whispers of Canada. He never intended FLUX to be a franchise model, but success breeds success and professional athletes as well as people serious about fitness and a health and fitness lifestyle, have approached him asking how they can be a part of the expansion of FLUX on a global scale. So where to from here? With an aura of humble power I’ve come to associate with him, Sean replies with seriousness, and all the possibility that fuels great things in motion, “The future is unlimited.” FLUX is associated with the World Kettlebell Club, the International Kettlebell and Fitness Federation, and International Biokinetics. Temple has a full medical team as part of the FLUX family and full medical regulatory requirements set up within the company.
QUICK FACTS Sean Temple - Rugby Coach, Ashton - Owner Flux Fluid Motion - Kettlebell Sport training and S+C coach to Bok and Olympian sportsmen and women What are Kettlebells? A kettle bell is a traditional Russian training implement that has been used since the 1700’s to develop full body conditioning and fitness. A kettle bell looks like a cannon ball with a handle. The shape of the kettle bell allows for unique positioning of the weight directly above your centre of mass (unlike a Dumbbell or Barbell which must be held in front of the body) and allows you to keep your hand and wrists in neutral alignment, which enable for greater endurance and longevity in the core lifts so that you can produce a much higher volume of exercise and thus greater conditioning and fitness.

DOCCRA FEEDBACK REPORT, MAY 2015 our verges? Yes, we may not have caused the litter but until those people who use roads and verges as their personal garbage bins are either educated about their misdeeds or bylaws implemented to fine culprits we must take responsibility to keep our town clean. KDM must here also take full responsibility, as when verge cutting is done, excessive litter which is uncovered during this process, is purposely left untouched, with no clean up crews following the verge cutters, thus showing no intent by KDM of clearing the litter or addressing the inherent problem. Beach cleaners and street cleaners are often left to their own devices, seen just standing around with no sense of purpose, urgency or responsibility to clean their dedicated areas. Do your duty KDM and enforce clean-up duties for the exorbitant levies charged in relation to these specified items in the Annual Budget.
As current Chairman of DOCRRA, I wish to provide this feedback report to the member base of DOCRRA and the public at large with apologies for the late submission. The last year has been somewhat chaotic with certain members of the DOCRRA Committee emigrating abroad, being elected as officials to the KDM Council and two other committee members having to take more personal interest in their own business concerns due to the current economic climate as well as personal health issues. Be that as it may, we would thus, as a result of the above, also serve notice that the AGM for DOCRRA will be held on 28 May 2015. It is prudently suggested that a new constitution be drafted by the new Committee and adopted thereafter at a Special General Meeting. We would request that persons interested in serving on the DOCRRA Committee please forward their details to the following email address, barbara@ballito-estates.co.za, with a CV attached for circulation to all members for election as committee members at the AGM. We regret to advise that neither myself nor Barbara Shingler will be available for re-election, so it is vitally important that sound-minded, competent, eager and vibrant ratepayers or residents step forward and pick up the reins to take DOCRRA forward. In the meantime the DOCRRA Committee wishes to advise the following to its members: ► The P445 upgrade is nearing completion. Somehow this link road that runs through the new Ballito Town “epicentre”, survived the chaos of the December 2014 and Easter 2015 holidays. We would like to thank the engineers and contractors, as well as Councillor Sandeep Oudhram, for the assistance given during these times when chaos was expected to descend on the link road area. Thank you to the Project Team responsible for the construction of the road. It is disappointing that KDM did not follow through on the commitments given to have the road completed by the end of February 2015 however, with construction and finishing work still on-going. We trust these elements will be completed in the immediate future. There is no clarity on the upgrades to be undertaken to sections under the control of KDM such as the roads by the BP Garage and Sangweni Tourism Centre, but I had an extremely fruitful and proactive meeting with a diligent Pravita Ramnarain regarding these issues after a very quick reaction to my enquiry last week. The roads around this section of Ballito are in dire need of an upgrade and the directional signage must be made visible in order to avoid potential accidents around the numerous circles situated in this node. ► Concerning to note is that litter is already starting to accumulate on the center island constructed as part of the P445 road upgrade. On a personal note, it irks me no end how our town is treated like a huge garbage dump. Everywhere one looks there is litter lying around, especially in the business districts. Can we not be proactive and clean up in our own suburbs and on
► Taxi Rank – No new timeframe or feedback has been provided in relation to the formal relocation of the taxi rank. The current position has arguably served well as an interim temporary option, but KDM now has to fulfil their obligation to the DOCRRA region, the commuters and the Taxi Associations alike, to establish a formal taxi rank as soon as possible in a centralised zone. KDM was quoted in stating that an area had been identified and would be incorporated in the upgrade of the P445 and yet no official action or even notifications have been forthcoming. DOCRRA’s new Committee should attempt to liaise with KDM on this matter in order to obtain certainty and to the benefit of all concerned. We recognise this serious concern in order to avoid aspects of taxi violence erupting in the area again. ► Road surface deterioration is common cause in the DOCRRA area, from Ballito through to Tinley Manor without fail. Never have internal road structures been in such an abysmal state as they are now. Each year promises are made for the budgeting of the road infrastructure upgrades and each year this budget is either misspent or potentially reallocated. Driving through various areas one can see the simple degradation, with the endemic failed pothole remedial work being implemented. No dedicated planned resurfacing of roads is being undertaken. KDM must not hide behind any Provincial Departments for lack of funding in this respect, as internal roads are their responsibility.
How long will it be before road failure will lead to a catastrophic accident, with KDM being liable because of their failure to attend to this matter as part of their obligatory function to the ratepayers? How long must we face visitors and holidaymakers who come here with the expectancy of a value for money experience, to an area which is seen to be deteriorating day after day and year after year. In addition we need KDM to vigorously take note of the two roads within their ambit, which are taking severe strain due to excessive road use, but most importantly the risk of safety to road users and pedestrians alike. The Shakas Rock and Umhlali/Salt Rock Roads are coming under tremendous pressure with the potential of life threatening incidences increasing every day. These may be provincial roads but KDM has the responsibility to manage these roads via the Traffic Department. Thus, the onus lies squarely on KDM to ensure liaison with the Provincial Department of Roads to ensure that the roads are kept and maintained to the standards required to prevent the loss of life on these roads, including constructing proper verges and taxi stops. Both off-ramps are in dire need of traffic lights and better traffic management. Why does KDM not take the responsibility to ensure that these tasks are being implemented? The potential for legal claims will certainly escalate through this intransigence of showing blind common ignorance to the obligation required on KDM’s part. ► Electricity consumption is a major cause for concern nationally but more so locally. DOCRRA held various meetings with KDM in the past where it was categorically stated that
KDM does not have the capacity to service the demands in respect of commitments made to future developments of variant natures coming onto the grid. It is therefore with great apprehension and trepidation, that I, as current Chairman of DOCRRA, noted the approval of the extension to the Junction Shopping Centre. Correctly so, as I was reminded on social media, I might have spoken out of turn without a mandate from all constituents, but what ratepayers must understand is that our grid capacity is finite unless provided for appropriately. This has not been done. Our national grid is under severe strain and Government has openly stated that there will be no respite in this regard for the next three years. The country is in crisis. I therefore pose the question how the development was passed by Exco to proceed, this after earthworks had already begun prematurely as supposed “early commencement” . The question begs to be asked how Town Planning together with Exco allowed such action to be entertained without standard Plan Approval first having been obtained, as recorded in the media and otherwise? As an individual I am not against the economic growth of an area. In this instance and for the immediate future however I certainly query, and must object personally, to the timing and methodology undertaken to establish this development without due foresight to its ramifications in relation to the electrical grid, lack of road infrastructure, real lack of demand from a critical mass perspective which I believe certainly doesn’t exist in the area at present, as well as the fact that we are fast becoming a town which will be saturated with “ghost malls”. This is totally contrary to the trend of big mall closures abroad and the preferred establishment of mixed use lifestyle living areas being created instead. Beware of additional load shedding, gridlock and empty mall retail space in the Ballito Town Centre. Property values will certainly not benefit from these decisions. Rates will certainly increase and one thus truly fears that only the increased rates income is being pursued by KDM to fill the dwindling coffers to the detriment of real material local interests. ► With reference to lack of Town Planning I cannot stress enough my huge disappointment and frustration to the lack of commitment by KDM to complete the refurbishment of the Ballito Municipal Offices which should officially house the Town Planning Department. The DOCRRA region is struggling with an inept and lethargic Town Planning Department with various aspects such as Plan Approvals and Occupation Certificates dragging on unnecessarily for extended indefinite periods. It is thus amazing that The Junction development managed to obtain approvals in record time, is it not? Be that as it may, the municipal building stands derelict without any visible construction happening and certainly seemingly no intent from KDM to complete the project. Seriously, the person responsible for this task should be formally disciplined and his or her employment terminated immediately. In fact, more appropriately, the Municipal Manager should face the brunt of this debacle, as effectively the buck stops with him. My advice to him is to resign and move on to the next deployment. He has not served the interests of the broader community in this area and the sheer lack of service delivery is sufficient proof of this fact. We need competent officials. ► I have to commend Sembcorp Siza Water for the tasks they perform as a Service Provider to our region. Their task is not being made any easier by Umgeni Water’s actions to impose unilateral price increases to our area. Additionally, it was left up to Sembcorp Siza water to manage the still on-going water crisis being experienced in the region. A word of thanks goes out to Sembcorp Siza Water for their proactive management in this regard. Please still adhere to the ongoing Stage 4 water restrictions. Water supply still remains in crises.
► We must count the DOCRRA region as lucky to the limited extent our small area was exposed to the scourge of xenophobia that has run rampant through KZN and our country of late. Incidences were reported in our area and one can only fear more will come.
I personally state my utter contempt and anger to those people who enacted these dastardly deeds to other human beings. It is cowardly to prey on innocent persons in such a way just because they have worked to gain their dignity within the realms of our country. I must also state my disdain with the Government for not acting sooner, not doing more and not recognising the seriousness of these events. Rome is falling while the purchases of Executive Jets are on the forefront of the agenda. That alone is R2 billion which can be used to create a viable Jobs Plan for our country, so sorely needed to avoid economic animosity that is seemingly spurring on xenophobic hatred. The problem lies deeper though in my personal opinion and our Government has to amend their one dimensional party political policies, put a concerted plan together and move toward the future instead of remaining obsessed steadfast prisoners of the past. If not there will be nothing left to govern anyway and anarchy will reign supreme. ► Lastly, I wish to state to our residents that even though we expect a normal level of service delivery from KDM, which is certainly not forthcoming but definitely obligatory, nothing stops us as residents, from beautifying our towns and suburbs in the DOCRRA region ourselves.
Many times I have driven through the DOCRRA sector, where owners are blatantly neglecting their verges and properties due to a lack of interest to complete potential developments as a result of a lack of potential returns, or the simple expectancy that verges will invariably be cut by KDM and roadsides cleaned up magically. I remember in decades gone past that owners took pride in their properties, manicuring their verges as a sense of honour and sweeping the roadside curbs to present a dignified presence of ownership. This tradition seems to have escaped us and has been filed into the annals of our so called democratic history. Let us not leave everything up to inept Municipal officials, but also take some accountability and responsibility in making our suburbs look enticing to us as residents and visitors alike. This request is moreover also extended to developers to maintain undeveloped land and developed properties, as well as the areas around their properties. Body Corporates along the beach front can certainly play more active roles in this respect. Clean-up and landscaping functions can surely be made part of daily and monthly routines, and yes, although it may be an additional cost, property values and general aesthetics will certainly benefit from these activities, enhancing the overall reputation of our towns and suburbs, justifying the costs incurred. As always seem to be the case, this time please embark on the opposite and don’t ignorantly look at each other to see who takes the initiative regarding the aforesaid, but just do it and make a personal difference. Lead by example!
I would like to thank the DOCRRA Committee Members for their valuable input during my tenure as Chairman and at a time that has been somewhat chaotic and moreover quite challenging. DOCRRA needs to move to a new phase of proactive endeavours and fortitude. We request that all members attend the AGM in order to achieve this goal. Yours sincerely, Louis Luyt Jnr CHAIRMAN: DOCRRA
