KZN’S FAVOURITE READ

from the editor

Wednesday night our neighbourhood in Ballito was rocked by what sounded like military grade fireworks being deployed in rapid succession.

A quick check revealed that the commotion was coming from a handful of homes celebrating Diwali and that many people in the neighbourhood were up in arms at the noise and the trauma it was causing to pets and wildlife in the area. The SAPS response was predictable – despite a general moratorium on the use of fireworks in the suburbs, exceptions are made for special occasions like New Year’s Eve, Guy Fawkes Night and Diwali also known as Deepawali - the "festival of lights", so they were powerless to respond. Diwali is an ancient Hindu festival celebrated globally around this time of year and according to Wikipedia, that popular electronic fountain of shared information, the festival spiritually signifies the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, good over evil, and hope over despair. Subamony Das, a Hindu scholar explains how the illumination of homes with lights, and the skies with firecrackers, is an expression of obeisance to the heavens for the attainment of health, wealth, knowledge, peace and prosperity. “In each legend, myth and story of Deepawali lies the significance of the victory of good over evil; and it is with each Deepawali and the lights that illuminate our homes and hearts, that this simple truth finds new reason and hope. From darkness unto light — the

light that empowers us to commit ourselves to good deeds, that which brings us closer to divinity.” I for one am completely in favour of the attainment of health, wealth, knowledge, peace and prosperity and as far as people committing themselves to good deeds and getting closer to divinity goes, I am all for it. But couldn’t we do it a little more peacefully? We live in a multicultural society and as such we need to make allowances for beliefs and practices that may be at odds with our own. But it would be wonderful if we were all sensitive enough to consider how our cultural practices might cause distress to those who don’t understand them, and find ways to lessen potential fallout. Animal welfare organisations are inundated with injured and traumatised animals when the uncontrolled use of fireworks has taken place to mark an occasion and no matter how one chooses to justify the use of fireworks, this simply amounts to cruelty and no one condones cruelty. It goes against “…the light that empowers us to commit ourselves to good deeds, that which brings us closer to divinity.” I wish all of our readers who celebrated Diwali, health, wealth, knowledge, peace and prosperity for the year ahead and I hope it proves to be a brilliant one for all of us. I also hope that going forward, we can find a

way to celebrate in a manner that everyone can enjoy. Guy Fawkes Night and New Year’s Eve are the next two explosive events coming at you shortly. If you have pets that are prone to panic, it’s a good idea to chat to your local vet about sedative options for them. Sadly the only way to protect the wild creatures from the chaos is to educate those around you about the negative effects of uncontrolled fireworks and hope they choose to celebrate in a way that does a little less harm to the planet that we share.

Selling Weeds Gavin Steinhobel

t seems when you are selling land you are no longer just selling land. As from 1 October 2014 a seller of land is also taking responsibility for alien or invasive fauna and flora to be found on the land being sold.

In a spasm of regulatory zeal which reads like a passage from a Douglas Adams novel, Sub-regulation 3 of Regulation 29 of the Alien and Invasive Species regulations issued under the NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT: BIODIVERSITY ACT 2004 (ACT NO. 10 OF 2004) provides that:(3) The seller of any immovable property must, prior to the conclusion of the relevant sale agreement, notify the purchaser of that property in writing of the presence of listed invasive species on that property. The list of Alien Invasive Species has been published at following address:http://www.invasives.org.za/legislation. html. A total of 559 alien species are listed as invasive in four different categories, and a further 560 species listed as prohibited and may not be introduced into the country. The species mentioned include both fauna and flora. The purpose behind the regulations is to ensure that coherent control programmes are run and maintained to protect our indigenous fauna and flora from more virulent or competitive foreigners. Let’s face it, not many of us know our Agrostis casellana (bent grass) from Agrostis gigantean (black bent grass) or Agrostis stolonifera (creeping bent grass). When saying this, allowance must obviously be made for those in the building trades who by now know Cannabis sativa by sight as it seems to sprout up on most building sites whenever a spell of wet weather is followed by a dose of healthy sunshine. The point is that not everyone is an ecstatic dendrologist and most sellers will be blissfully unaware of the presence of a listed invasive species on their land. For this reason it would be unjust for a purchaser who subsequently becomes aware of the invasive alien to hold the seller responsible for its eradication or removal after sale of the property. It is suggested that estate agents request sellers to confirm in writing whether they are aware of, or hold any permits in respect of any alien invasive species to be found on the property. If the Seller advises that he or she is aware of any alien species, or confirms that he holds a permit for same, the estate agent can pass on this confirmation to a prospective purchaser who will then purchase the property subject to the obligations occasioned by the presence of alien invasive species (for example, he may need to apply for a permit). Similarly, to protect the seller the offer to purchase should include an acknowledgment by the purchaser that he has been advised of the invasive

species' presence on the property and that he assumes responsibility therefor. It would also be prudent for the agreement to contain, as part of the usual voetstoots clause, a general confirmation by the purchaser that he has inspected the property and generally assumes responsibility for the presence of any alien flora and/or fauna. Here is a brief summary of a property owner’s obligations after 1 October 2014 with respect to the less desirable species? Category 1a species must be eradicated and the land owner is to allow an authorised official from the Department to enter onto the land to monitor, assist or implement the combating or eradication of the species. Category 1b species must be controlled and the land owner must allow an authorised official from the Department to enter onto the land, to assist with or implement the control of the listed invasive species. Category 2 species require the person in control of the specie to be in possession of a permit to allow him to carry out a restrictive activity within an area specified in the notice, or the area specified in the permit. No person may carry out a restrictive activity of a Category 2 invasive species without a permit. A land owner on whose land an invasive species Category 2 occurs must ensure that the specimens of the species do not spread outside of the land or the area specified in the notice or permit. A species listed as Category 2 that occurs outside of the specified area stated in a permit, is to be considered as being in Category 1b Astonishingly, the fines and penalties for non-compliance with the regulations can attract a fine not exceeding R10 million or imprisonment not exceeding 10 years. It does, however, appear that the thrust of this legislation is to obtain co-operation and the fines and penalties will only become applicable if the landowner refuses an authorised official from the Department to enter onto the land to monitor, assist or implement the combating; control or eradication of the species, or flatly refuses to comply with the regulations after due notice. The responsible official, Dr Guy Preston has alluded to the possibility of an invasive species clearance certificate being required before any property may be transferred in future. This would be an interesting development and a real opportunity for those qualified to carry out the inspections. I personally welcome any move from the Department of Water and Environmental Affairs to preserve our natural heritage. When I see all the litter on the margins of our highways and byways, wherever users of public transport congregate and where rivers wash out I cannot help but wish that the same department would bring its resources to bear on our festering litter problem with similar zeal.

a deal, how can we conclude business with more elegance and polish? 3. Have we stretched ourselves to “hold nothing back” in terms of providing real solutions? 4. When we keepin-touch, how can we do so with sizzle and style? 5. Before clients come into our business how can we be better prepared, informed and educated? The goal is to enhance the client experience so that the business gets “talked about” more often. If you build trust through client relationships, when a mistake happens (as they sometimes do), your client will be more inclined to overlook the issue as long as it is rectified. And so the cycle never ends… constantly finding ways to raise the game, whilst achieving a balance between long term strategic growth and short-term cash flow.

Examples include spaghetti (thin rods), rigatoni (tubes or cylinders), fusilli (swirls), and lasagne (sheets).

more so. Ligurian ingredients include several types of fish and seafood dishes; basil (found in pesto), nuts and olive oil are very common. In EmiliaRomagna, common ingredients include ham (prosciutto), sausage (cotechino), different sorts of salami, truffles, grana, ParmigianoReggiano, and tomatoes (Bolognese sauce or ragù). Traditional Central Italian cuisine uses ingredients such as tomatoes, all kinds of meat, fish, and pecorino cheese. In Tuscany and Umbria pasta is usually served alla carrettiera (a tomato sauce spiked with peperoncini hot peppers). Finally, in Southern Italy, tomatoes – fresh or cooked into tomato sauce – peppers, olives and olive oil, garlic, artichokes, oranges, ricotta cheese, eggplants, zucchini, certain types of fish (anchovies, sardines and tuna), and capers are important components to the local cuisine. Italian cuisine is also well known (and well regarded) for its use of a diverse variety of pasta. Pasta include noodles in various lengths, widths and shapes. Distinguished on shapes they are named — penne, maccheroni, spaghetti, linguine, fusilli, lasagne and many more varieties that are filled with other ingredients like ravioli and tortellini.

BizziBanting range was borne from clients requesting products to suit and support the LCHF (low carb high fat – ‘Banting Lifestyle’). We have incorporated a range for our clients, which they love. What inspired you to start your business? I have always loved cooking and baking and if I am truly honest, being in the kitchen really relaxes me, and that is where I become really creative. What makes it special / unique? What sets BizziB apart is our product range, and our Customer Service. I strive to create products that are unique and moreish, without compromising on taste and quality. Are you the best in your field? My Customers certainly think so and that is extremely important to me. What setbacks / difficulties have you had to overcome to get to where you are now? I wouldn’t call them Setbacks or difficulties, more like challenges. Being a single parent and only bread winner, comes with its own set of challenges, and believing in myself

that I am capable to take BizziB to the next level, was extremely daunting and downright scary, it still is. Having to balance and weigh up everything with the utmost reserve and caution…..my son, my work commitments together with Bizzib & BizziBanting has been a learning curve, that no-one can teach you or prepare you for. What lessons have you learned from this? To step back and breath…..and realize that I am actually not alone and I do need to reach out for help, as I cannot be Butcher, Baker, Candle Stick maker forever! Delegation has never been my strong point, and it is something that I am constantly learning. What are your plans for building the brand? To be consistent and build my Brand slowly, as I have been doing up until now. I have participated in both the Durban Taste Festival and The Good Food and Wine Show, which were both fabulous opportunities for me and my Brands. The response and feedback I have received in terms of both BizziB and BizziBanting through this exposure has been amazing. Participation in the weekend Markets, such as Burnedale, Litchi Orchard, Foodies Market Ballito and Hillcrest Farmer’s Market and supplying the likes of Home-Grown, Say Cheese and Bucks Farm Stall on the South Coast, are all part of my brands growth and success. Ultimately to keep enjoying what I do, giving it my all with all the passion and love I can muster. Contact Ashleigh on 084 853 2618 or 079 897 0710

“A Moment in Time…” An exhibition of extraordinary work by acclaimed local artist, Jane Digby

“A Moment in Time…” is series of recent paintings, mostly abstract landscapes, but with a couple of portraits adding an extra dimension to the collection. Each painting represents the moment in time in which the inspiration caught the artist’s eye, that moment in time in which the light touches the landscape, the leaves on the trees or the pools of water, tips of wings or blades of grasses. These paintings also represent a moment in time, in which they were created. Jane paints in a spontaneous, intuitive manner, so each of these paintings is an intuitive response to the subject – resulting in exciting splashes and dashes of color, light and shadows. Layers of paint come together to culminate in paintings with depth and emotion. Come along to this exhibition and take time out to have a meal, coffee or something stronger at the Simbithi Country Club’s Fig Tree Restaurant and Bar.

Beginner’s Guide to Mountain Biking Want to know how to get better at mountain biking, but you’re just not sure where to start?

oo many ‘do this, do thats’ bouncing around in your head? Well, the best thing to do as a beginner is to just get out and ride. Keep your thoughts simple and relax. Don’t concern yourself with trying to do everything right all at once.

Just pedal around and have the best fun that you can. Too much worrying and thinking will actually restrict your thoughts on the bike and kill your chances of improvement. Follow these six simple beginner mountain biking tips to get better at mountain biking: 1. Good Company Good camaraderie raises your confidence and that helps you advance your beginner mountain biking skills. So ride with fellow riders who encourage you to do better and who don’t mind waiting while you have second or third attempts at tricky parts of the trail.

2. The Right Tires Choose mountain bike tires suited to your level of skill and the terrain you ride. They might only be hoops of rubber, but the right mountain bike tires can make a huge difference. Race tires are built for speed and they generally offer less grip for the beginner style of riding. And, as a beginner, you’ll probably need all the grip you can get, so purchase some tires that have good all-round grip suited for the type of terrain and conditions you’ll be riding. Sure, grippy tires don’t roll as quickly as race and low profile tires. But, as a beginner, your focus should be on grip and control first and speed second. You need as much grip and control as possible to boost your confidence in the rough and enhance what bike skills you do have. 3. Pressure Play Lower tire pressures offer higher levels of grip. Thirty p.s.i. will give you more grip than fifty p.s.i. And

that extra grip you gain from lower pressures can help you climb a little further up the hill. Anything that helps you walk less is good! Just don’t set your pressures too low for your weight and risk punctures or wheel damage! Besides helping you climb further, lower pressures can teach you what better traction feels like, and what grippy ground looks like and this will increase your knowledge of the different types of terrain and how to ride them. And as always, experiment with what works best for you and your trails. Just remember, higher pressures don’t necessary mean you will ride better or faster. - Super Tip: Tubeless Wheel-sets. Tubeless tire and wheel sets are great for the Pressure Play because you can ride with lower pressures without increasing your risk of pinch flats. 4. Listen to Your Body Tired Beginners Crash. Once you

start to get tired, your balance and concentration will slip. When this happens the smart rider backs off and heads for home. It’s not quitting. It’s knowing when to stop. 5. Happy Feet Loosen your pedals. If you ride clipless pedals, adjust them so that you can release your shoes quickly and easily. Yes, it’s another confidence booster. And it works because you’ll be able to concentrate more on the trail and less on getting stuck in your pedals half-way up a hill and falling over as a result. Just remember to firm up the pedal clamping tension as your skill improves. 6. Home Maintenance Fix it before your next ride. Perform any necessary mountain bike maintenance, repairs or adjustments before your next ride. Leave it for the trail and you will risk your popularity.

-Above all…

Keep it fun. As a beginner mountain biker it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by all the things you think you need to learn. Just relax. Relax on the bike, learn the basics of mountain biking well, and enjoy what you’re doing. Do that and world of mountain biking will open up to you.

The Perfect Pedal Stroke

How to get the most energy from each crank revolution. LOREN MOONEY

edaling in a simple circle is a complex thing, but mastering it can save energy, says Todd Carver, biomechanist at Colorado's Boulder Center for Sports Medicine. He says that with proper ankling (shown here; not the injurycausing technique of the past), riders can churn out the same amount of power at a heart rate as many as five beats per minute lower. This stroke is for flat terrain at threshold, or time trial, intensity.

Hip-Knee-Ankle Alignment Viewed from the front, your hip, knee and ankle should line up throughout the pedal stroke. "You don't want knee wobble," says Carver. "Just think pistons, straight up and down." If you can't correct this,

or if you experience knee pain when you try to restrict lateral movement, you may need orthotics or another type of biomechanical adjustment. Zone 1 Known as the power phase, the portion of the pedal stroke from 12 o'clock to about 5 o'clock is the period of greatest muscle activity. "A lot of people think hamstrings are used only on the upstroke," says Carver, "but a good cyclist uses a lot of hamstring in the downstroke, because it extends the hip." The key to accessing the large muscles in the back of your leg is dropping your heel as you come over the top of the stroke, says Carver. "At 12 o'clock, your toes should be pointed down about 20 degrees, but as you come over the top, start dropping that heel so that it's parallel to the ground or even 10 degrees past parallel by the time you get to 3 o'clock." The biggest mistake Carver sees in novice riders: not dropping the heel enough in Zone 1. Zone 2 Using the same muscles as in the power phase, but to a lesser degree, this phase acts as a transition to the backstroke. "As you enter Zone 2, think about firing the calf muscles to point your toe," Carver says. As you come through the bottom of the stroke, the toe should be pointed down 20 degrees. "This ankling technique transfers some of the energy developed in Zone 1 by the bigger muscles to the crank," Carver says. He uses the advice popularized by Greg LeMond: "Act like you're scraping mud off the bottom of your shoe." Zone 3 Even though you feel like you're pulling your foot through the

back of the stroke, you're not. "When you look at even the best cyclists, they're losing power on the upstroke," says Carver. "The pedal is actually pushing your leg up, so the goal is to lose as little power as possible and get that foot out of the way." One fun way to improve the efficiency of your upstroke: mountain biking. "The terrain keeps you honest," Carver says. "If you're focusing only on the downstroke, you'll lose traction and fall off your bike in steep sections." As for other exercises, Carver advises against singleleg pedal drills--"for recreation-level riders, they injure more people than they help"--but recommends hamstring and glute-strengthening lifts, as well as squats, "done correctly, in a squat rack with someone showing you how." Saddle Position Proper bike fit, especially saddle height and fore-aft adjustment, is a prerequisite for a smooth pedal stroke. Without it, says Carver, you won't be even remotely as efficient as you could be. "If your saddle is too high, you're not going to be able

to drive your heel effectively," he says. "If it's too low, you'll have knee pain." In the right position (knee over the ball of your foot with the pedal at 3 o'clock; knee slightly bent with the pedal at 6 o'clock), you'll maximize your energy output and also be able to adapt your ankling technique to different terrain, cadence and effort levels. Zone 4 As you enter the second half of the upstroke phase, think about initiating your downstroke. "Many riders don't initiate early enough," says Carver, who often sees riders wait until 3 o'clock--but they should be starting before 12 o'clock. A tip: As you begin to come across the top of the stroke, think about pushing your knee forward, toward the bar. But only your knee, says Carver: "Your pelvis should remain a stable platform, not sinking down and not moving forward."

SUGAR RUSH PARK -

Sugar Rush has over 100km of MTB and running trails, all designed and built by renowned mountain bike champions Russell and Tyrone White from the Sugar Rush team. These trails are suitable for both amateur and experienced riders. Families can ride together and then enjoy the amenities at the Sugar Rush cycle head which include hot showers and toilets, a bike wash and a place to ‘chill’ while enjoying great coffee and light meals. The Kids Pump track is popular for kids’ parties and is an essential component of building core strength and skills in kids (of all ages!) who wish to hone their skills. Sugar Rush has adopted the slogan “Pedalling to Protect”. This is an initiative with the Wildlands Trust, which is aimed at rehabilitating areas surrounding the trails by clearing alien

vegetation, planting indigenous trees and restoring the surrounding wetland areas. Major MTB and trail running events recently held at Sugar Rush include the annual Sugar Rush Classic, the Ballito Expedition, the Natalie Bergstrom fundraiser and the Rhino Run. The second Ballito Expedition will be held on 8 November and promises new and never-before-ridden trails. Other exciting additions to Sugar Rush Park which are currently under way are rugby fields for the Ballito Dolphins Rugby club, an upgrade to the coffee shop to turn it into a fullyfledged restaurant, and an outdoor kids play area and skate park. Given its easy accessibility, its spacious farmland setting, the scope for safe play, the refreshment facilities and the commitment to social and environmental upliftment, there is no clearer evidence of the commitment of Sugar Rush to provide a quality outdoor leisure family experience whilst also contributing to attracting more visitors to Ballito and boosting local businesses. Sugar Rush will soon open its 2015 membership for keen mountain bikers and trail runners as well as families.

Immune Protection Against Modern Disease Stephanie Wills - Lifestyle Health

ever before have our immune systems been under such attack as now. The prevalence of modern day disease is rampant and seems to be spreading at an alarming rate. The good news is that natural options are available to help strengthen our immunity. When the body's natural defence system is functioning at it's peak, super-bugs, viruses and bacteria are quickly eradicated and the threat of infection is eliminated.

To improve one's immunity, a multi-pronged approach is required. This includes a focus on healing foods, supplementing with targeted nutrients, practising good lifestyle habits as well as eliminating harmful substances and stressors that depress the immune system. Eat foods with strong antibacterial, antiviral and immune boosting properties - Garlic: contains the active ingredient allicin, which fights infection and bacteria. - Mushrooms: contain powerful compounds called beta glucans, which bind to macrophages and other scavenger white blood cells, activating their anti-infection activities. Mushrooms are also rich in protein, fibre, vitamin C, B vitamins and (most notably) vitamin D; all of which help strengthen immunity. - Aloe Vera: contains specific polysaccharides which boost the immune system. It also has strong antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-fungal qualities. - Turmeric (curcumin): reduces inflammation, the root of all serious disease. Turmeric also helps improve the behaviour of cellular membranes which in turn makes the cells more resistant to infection and malignancy. - Liver: is chock full of essential immune boosting nutrients including iron, B-12, vitamin A and zinc. Vitamin A in particular, is known as the antiinfective vitamin due to its integral role in the immune system. - Coconut oil: contains a mediumchain fatty acid (MCFA) called lauric acid which disrupts the lipid membranes of offending organisms. Lauric acid converts in your body to monolaurin, the same compound found in breast milk that strengthens a baby’s immunity. - Ginger: has potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. It helps boost immune function and combat cellular damage. - Propolis: is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial which modulates immune response. - Cruciferous Vegetables: (kale, broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage) help support liver and immune function by boosting the liver’s ability to flush out

toxins. - Cinnamon: a strong immune boosting spice with antiviral, anti-fungal and antibacterial properties. - Clove: a powerful antioxidant and good anti-inflammatory with mild anaesthetic benefits. - Grass Fed Red Meat: is an important source of zinc. Zinc deficiency can greatly increase your risk of infection. Zinc aids in the production of white blood cells in the body, helping them act more aggressively against foreign bacteria. - White Tea: helps inactivate bacteria, viruses and fungi. The immune boosting effect of white tea has been found to be even greater than that of green tea. Immune boosting nutrients to Include - Adaptogens: such as reishi, siberian ginseng, astragalus and pau d'arco not only improve the body's ability to handle stress, they also enhance immune function. Take a course of each consecutively to give your immune system a broad spectrum boost. - Liver Supporting Herbs: such as milk thistle, dandelion root, burdock root, artichoke and turmeric support and improve liver function. A healthy liver promotes a healthy immune system. The liver lymphocyte population is enriched in macrophages called Kupffer cells which play a key role by capturing and digesting bacteria, fungi, parasites, worn-out blood cells, and cellular debris. - Vitamin C: (ester C with bioflavanoids, rosehips, camu camu, acerola cherry) is an immune enhancer that helps white blood cells perform at their peak and quickens the immune system response. - Vitamin D3:(from sunlight, cod liver oil or in supplement form) with sufficient D3 levels in the body it can produce its own natural antibiotic (cathelicidin) which engulfs and destroys unwanted intruders. D3 also helps regulate any immune system imbalances as well as improves general function. - Zinc: plays a vital role in maintaining a healthy immune system. It is necessary for white blood cell function as well as acts as a catalyst in the immune system’s killer response to foreign bodies. - Probiotics: (supplement or from fermented foods such sauerkraut, kefir, kombucha and yoghurt) help keep the gut and intestinal tract free of diseasecausing germs. - Colloidal silver: is a broad-spectrum immune enhancer with anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal properties. - Immune Enhancing Herbs: (goldenseal, echinacea, cat's claw, elderberry, olive leaf, oregano oil) are powerful immune boosters which offer extra protection if you are at risk or suspect you may have an infection.

Eliminate foods and behaviours that suppress the immune system The biggest culprits in immune suppression are: Sugar: weakens white blood cell function. Alcohol: puts strain on the liver. Smoking & drugs: this is a nobrainer! Dairy: tends to stimulate excess mucus production in the body and can depress immunity if you have an intolerance. Corn, soy, and wheat (gluten): These are all genetically modified foods that are best avoided. Damaged fats: from hydrogenation, processed foods, transfats, vegetable oils and margarine are deterrents to a healthy immune system. Chronic stress: Stress is rightly called the silent killer and too much stress invariably leads to a lowered immune system. Excessive EMF exposure: Limit time spent in front of the television and computer screens, reduce cell phone usage as much as possible, turn off your wireless when you sleep and avoid lingering anywhere close to transformers on electrical power lines. Sitting indoors: Limited sunshine exposure combined with a sedentary lifestyle is detrimental to your immune system. Lack of sleep: depresses immunity as much as any stressor as well as promotes inflammation and reduces your body's ability to regenerate. Practise good lifestyle habits Laugh: positive emotions associated with laughter decrease stress hormones and increase certain immune cells while activating others. Spend time in nature to destress and reenergise your body. Relax: Practise deep breathing exercises, yoga or pilates, read, listen to music, play... whatever it is that helps you relax, will do wonders for your immunity. Practise daily

gratitude, have a positive attitude and learn to be content with life. Cultivate healthy relationships: Research shows that the fewer human connections we have, the more likely we are to get sick, suffer with anxiety, and live shorter lives! Drink plenty of water to boost the immune system as well as flush out toxins. Exercise is a proven immune system booster. Do something you enjoy and do it outside if possible. Improve in all of these areas and your immune system will be able to function at its optimum offering you the best possible protection against modern disease. As always, consult with a qualified health practitioner to determine which natural solutions are best for your individual situation.

physical limitations affect your health and mobility and yoga addresses your physical limitations.

Yoga is about learning how to be with your body and notice what it needs and is capable of in this moment. How tragic that Oscar managed to do so well with his handicap but never came to terms with fear and anger. It came up repeatedly – he was afraid and reacted before he had time to think. We’ve` all heard dolus directus and dolus eventualus ad nauseum – what about dolus interuptus – surely that is the essence of maturity, understanding the import of your actions and being able to stop yourself. All beings are responsible for their own actions and for the consequences of their actions. May we not get caught up in reactivity. Judge Masipa threw out the witnesses statements because they just didn’t tie up – what a lesson! Know that what you believe to be absolute may just not be so. Oh, and the chilling passive aggressiveness in the court room throughout. Sneers covered over in overt politeness and labelled decorum. People! Suddenly we are all experts in law. Those poor families. It’s a lot easier to accept others are responsible for their own happiness than it is for those we care for deeply. “Shadenfreude” is the term for people who delight in the bad happenings of others. The yogis have

a wonderful Sanskrit word “mudita” which means delight in the success and happiness of others. The great challenge of yoga is to find balance in everything in an out of balance, complex, nuanced world. How does Oscar find balance with his perfect upper half and a dysfunctional lower half – very confusing to the psyche. Another beautiful blonde, a fast car, a more powerful firearm. The added pressure of becoming a celebrity and athletic training – KAPOW! A key reason you feel better after a yoga class is the practice has helped you move your life force in a way that is more balanced, complete or suited to your particular physical or mental needs. Ask yourself if your particular way of living your life is helping you move prana – life force through your body and bringing balance and composure. So Oscar gets five years – but this can’t give the Steenkamps back their beautiful daughter. We cannot escape being separated from that which we love and that which is dear to us. Our actions are our only true belongings. We cannot escape the consequences of our actions. Our actions are the ground on which we stand.

Matthew Harrison

rawford College North Coast hosted an evening of Drama performance art, which show-cased the best of the practical work for the year to the delight of the audience who laughed, cried and applauded loudly.

The performers left the stage with wonderful memories and much self-confidence and esteem as a result of this successful event. The entertainment was boosted by dance performances, including the up-beat and funky “Black and Gold” and a touchingly melancholic “Say Something”. This was a fine tribute to the inspiration and direction of Ms Melissa Wood who organised this event, the proceeds of which go to a charitable cause, the Thokozani Home community-service project.

Curro Mount Richmore â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Growing Fast

urro Mount Richmore was officially opened in Salt Rock recently by Dr Chris van der Merwe, founder of the Curro Education group that he started with his wife in Cape Town in 1998. This is the nineteenth school in the Curro Holdings portfolio which is valued at over R8billion. The PSG Group holds a 50% stake in the group giving it the financial muscle and flexibility to deliver on its vision to grow the group to eighty schools by 2020.

Curro Mount Richmore opened its doors earlier this year and has already shown rapid growth. From the roughly 100 pupils it started with, the school enrolment has already tripled in size and next year they expect to start with over 400 pupils. Curro is a popular choice because of their Christian ethos and passion for education at all levels. According to Dr van der Merwe, they believe in producing leaders to take South Africa boldly into the future and to create a better country for all. The Mount Richmore campus is an excellent example of a modern

school in the greater Ballito region that is ready to rise to the challenge of creating well rounded, confident, educated and committed youngsters and to equip them with the skills to succeed in life in whatever fields they choose to pursue.

The Futuristic

Lotus C-01 Motorcycle Heads for Production

ermany’s Lotus Motorcycles has teamed up with the German conceptual-vehicle designer Daniel Simon to create the C-01 motorcycle.

While Simon’s best-known work includes the light cycles seen in the 2010 film Tron: Legacy and the bubble copter in the 2013 film Oblivion, he is regarded in the automotive world for his work at Bugatti. The C-01 motorcycle features a 200 hp, four-stroke, 2-cylinder V-twin engine (a modified version of KTM’s 1,195 cc engine), which is draped underneath a carbon-fiber shell and sits neatly in a frame of an aerospace steel, titanium, and carbon fiber. The C-01, which indeed looks like it belongs in a science-fiction movie, is more than a mere two-wheel fantasy. Lotus Motorcycles (whose name was licensed from the British carmaker) has confirmed that it plans to put the C-01 motorcycle into production starting next month. The company says that production versions of the bike should emerge from the factory in August. (www.lotus-motorcycles.com)

Spectacular Find Of A

Rare Mercedes 300SL Gullwing

Left Neglected For 40 Years.

CANTILEVER CARPORTS

• No plans are required for Shade Ports.

o mark his graduation in 1955, Tom Wellmer's parents bought him a Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing. As one of the finest sports cars in the world at that time this was a lovely present to receive; yet the valuable classic and inspiration for the SLS AMG was left to rot in a garage for 40 years before Rudi Koniczek of Rudi & Company, a premier 300SL restorer, took it under his wing. "This is the ultimate garage find and may be one of the greatest finds ever in the collector car world," Koniczek says.

It's amazing to know that the car had been there all those years without anyone knowing about it." During the fifties, the Stuttgart-based factory turned out 29 lightweight alloy body gullwing coupes fitted with Plexiglas

windows. These represent some of the most valuable cars in the world today, and are valued at $2.5 million apiece. Having heard a whisper of a rumour that the last of these rare specimens was stored in a garage in Santa Monica twenty years ago, it was with an overwhelming sense of pleasure that Koniczek tracked the car down this year. Now in his late eighties, the owner agreed to the sale of his notso-treasured treasure, which he abandoned in the seventies after a failed transmission, on the condition it would be fully restored and the award-winning restorer is on the case. The buyer has wished to remain anonymous and the restoration of the alloy-bodied 300SL is set to commence next year.

• Shade Cloth Car Ports are cheaper than garages. • Shade Cloth Car Ports can be erected in a short time. • Cantilever Car Ports are easy to access, meaning less damage to cars. • Car Ports protect vehicles from hail damage. • Hot Dip Galvanizing. This means no rust.
